On this episode of Back to Basics, Rep. Jeff Helfrich sits down with Larry Campbell, former Speaker of the Oregon House and one of the architects behind Republicans winning the majority after nearly two decades in the minority.

Larry shares how relationships, groundwork outside the Capitol, and showing up door-to-door made the difference in districts most people had already written off. They talk about what it really takes to build a governing majority, why credibility and trust still matter in politics, and the long game behind meaningful policy change.

From running competitive races against union money to balancing leadership with family, this is a candid conversation about what works, what lasts, and why getting Back to Basics is more important than ever.
