What they said, side by side with what the record shows. Every claim and action is sourced. Where the record isn't yet verified, fwdio.org says so explicitly — we don't fill gaps with guesses.
“Oregon needs a Project Leader, not a politician. I am not a politician.”
Self-reported in the official voters' pamphlet: Occupation listed as Teacher and CEO; Occupational Background as Project Management, Auditor, Educator; Prior Governmental Experience as US Navy veteran (10 years honorable service) and Precinct Committee Person (PCP). No elected office listed.
Where the money comes from. Right now fwdio.org links you to the canonical ORESTAR filings on the Oregon Secretary of State's system — the same place anyone, including journalists and opponents, can audit. v1.4 will ingest contribution totals and top contributors inline.
Window 01/01/2025 – 05/12/2026. ORESTAR returned no transactions for committee "Paul Joseph Romero". The committee may not be registered, may be filed under a different name, or may not have received any contributions in this window.

No third-party scorecards loaded yet for this candidate. fwdio.org is building toward a cross-spectrum grid (labor, business, environment, civil liberties, gun rights, reproductive rights, tax/fiscal, housing) so every visitor can find a lens they already trust. v1.1 surfaces what's in the official pamphlets; v1.2 pulls in structured scorecards from third-party organizations.
Dear Oregonians, As a Navy veteran, substitute teacher for SPED Pre-K to 12th grade, father and now grandfather, I've seen the systems break from the inside. Education is failing, taxes are crushing families, and leaders have failed the people. Oregon doesn't need more party politics. It needs real leadership rooted in truth, transparency, and constitutional accountability. Oregon needs a Project Leader, not a politician. With focus on the future, I propose to end State Income Tax, State Property Tax, CAT Tax, excessive fees & licensing costs, and hidden taxes. End Federal Welfare for the non-use of state resources, rebuilding our STATE timber industry & promoting an economic environment that attracts and keeps businesses and jobs. County budget issues disappear managing their own resources. Oil and natural gas in Eastern Oregon must be capitalized on for all Oregonians along with a refinery in SE Oregon. This is the starting point for real leadership. Solid ideas, vision, and action when you elect me. I am not a politician. I am committed to being a great Statesman, Project Leader, and a true representative of We The People.
