Oregon governor hopeful and city of Sandy Mayor Stan Pulliam has a plan to end Antifa's terrorization of Portland, which includes tripling the size of the state's police force.

"The days of Antifa ruling the streets of Portland are about to end," Pulliam said in a statement.

Antifa militants attacked a group of Republican volunteers in Portland at a rally for Pulliam on Saturday.

On Saturday, Antifa militants launched projectiles, including mortar type fireworks, at the crowd consisting of children and elderly participants. They also used noisemakers to drown out the group and disrupt their freedom of speech.

"Yesterday a group of Oregonians attempted what used to be free speech — showing up to a peaceful campaign rally in Portland," Pulliam said. "The fact that this was not possible is a sign of the slow decay that has taken hold of our state and once beautiful city of Portland."

"For the past four years, I have been talking about the need for real leadership to end the violence on our streets. Today I am issuing my plan to end Antifa's control of Portland for good."

In his statement, Pulliam said his administration would:

Triple the size of the State Police, restoring them to their former strength.

Deputize a portion of the State Police as U.S. marshals in order to charge Antifa and other violent criminals with a federal crime.

Deploy the National Guard to stop riots.

Use every resource available to identify the individuals who have been terrorizing Portland on a regular basis and bring them to justice.

Defund Antifa by stopping all state public and rental assistance to anyone convicted of rioting on the streets.

Launch investigations into public servants who have been covering up for and ignoring the violence, including Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt.

"The days of Antifa ruling the streets of Portland are about to end," concluded Pulliam.
