Dennis Linthicum.

Dennis Linthicum, 58, decided to take on 16-year incumbent Greg Walden out of the belief that “establishment Republicans” are steering the party — and nation — in the wrong direction.

Linthicum said the people who inhabit Oregon’s Second Congressional District — the seventh largest in the nation — need to know their representative in Washington, D.C., truly wants to rein in runaway government spending.
