It's true: Monica Wehby is... back!

Kari Chisholm

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... it turns out the rumors are true:

Monica Wehby is back. Tanned, rested, and ready? Not exactly.

Her new venture, a state political committee called Monica PAC, features the same content-free word salads that her Senate campaign featured. Here's her mission statement:

Monica PAC is dedicated to promoting smart, common sense government for all Oregonians. Monica PAC focuses on electing officials devoted to real world solutions, government transparency, and job-creating businesses. Monica PAC investments in winning candidates will change Oregon’s political landscape by giving voice to those who know freedom exists through opportunity.

Does that mean anything? At all?

After all, it all sounds fine to me -- common sense government, real world solutions, job-creating businesses, freedom, opportunity -- but I'm pretty sure that I'm not exactly her target market.

So, what's Wehby really up to? Maybe she really does want to spend her time raising money ($45k so far) to give it away to other candidates. But "Monica PAC" is just so self-aggrandizing, I'm willing to bet she's running for a state office.

The question is, dear readers: Which one? In 2016, she could run for Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, the state legislature, or a local office. Let's hear your theories!
