OR-GOV: Leading Gubernatorial Candidate Shares That He Was in a Swingers Group
One of the leading candidates for governor of Oregon has confirmed that he was previously a member of a swingers group meant for those interested in swapping sexual partners — but he pushed back on any scrutiny of what he called private decisions by him and his wife.
In a statement to media outlets including The Oregonian, Sandy, Oregon, Mayor Stan Pulliam, a Republican, said that he and wife MacKensey "explored mutual relationships" when they were members of the Portland-based group in 2016, but the two have since decided to focus only on their own partnership.
"Ever since, day in and day out, we've worked as a team to strengthen our family and to create a better community and state for our girls and the hundreds of thousands of kids just like them, so they can safely grow up, live, work and stay right here in Oregon," Pulliam, 40, said in his statement. (He did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.)
Pulliam has campaigned on a platform of individual liberties and small-town values, saying on his website that he wants to "put an end" to the "culture of criminality that our state has allowed to fester in Oregon's big cities."
