A Republican candidate in the packed Republican Primary for Oregon Governor has been forced to admit he was a swinger after his posts on a private Facebook group were leaked ahead of the race.
Stan Pulliam, who is also the mayor of his hometown of Sandy, told his local paper that he and his wife of 12 years MacKensey 'ultimately decided' that the lifestyle 'wasn't for us,' but that he is 'not ashamed' of the decisions they 'made in the privacy of [their] own home.'
The 40-year-old told the Williamette Week that he and MacKensey, 'explored relationships, mutual relationships with other couples, for a brief period of time.'
'Several years ago, MacKensey and I, as a couple explored relationships with other couples for a brief period of time before we ultimately decided to focus solely on each other, our marriage and our family,' he expounded in a statement sent to DailyMail.com
'And 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 was pushed to speak out about his unusual married life after Facebook posts and a photo from Portland's Erotic Ball in 2011 surfaced. In it, the couple talk about being excited to join the swinging community and he even comments on illicit photos of other members.
It is unclear what effect the uncovered posts will have on Oregon's Republican primary, set for May 17. However, Pulliam is a favorite to win in the liberal state, and he has said he has no intentions of pulling out.

“said he has no intentions of pulling out.”
There’s some British humour for you.
It’ll be interesting to see if he makes it out of the primary, but its good that this is out now as opposed to if it came out during the last weeks of the general. Who knows? It may actually help him with some voters in Portland.
Traditional marriage is part of what Republicans should be standing for - this makes a joke of that.
It does. But. One set of rules and it’s time our side took off the handcuffs.
Brazen immorality. Unashamed of his sin. God provide another, or save this one. Save him, either way, body, soul and spirit, in Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.
I think if people drove around Oregon...looking at lifestyles and political status...probably one of every three Republican would either fail a drug test, or have an ‘open’ marriage. Not that I condone such things but it’s the reality of living in the state.
If anything, it makes Stan more likeable by the independents.
Another mental case posing as a politician.
It would be nice but not real. Sinners abound.
Stop Alinsky-ing our side.
Sexual morality aside, this guy was idiotic enough to post about his “activities” with others, on Facebook?? That disqualifies him for lack of judgement right there.
Why do you think he’s “our side”?
It IS Oregon. I’ve lived there, and iot doees go on. the balls sere a happening yhimg in 1998, too.
He is hoping to represeent his district. I yhink he woll win, being voted by his peers.
Otegon? Traditional marriage .....no divorcrs, right?
in this day and time, yeah right!
I couldn’t agree more. This guy sounds like he’s completely lacking in good sense.
Sometimes the conservative and libertarian legs of the GOP stool can be a bit wobbly.
yeah this is not good but do you notice that this is only revealed on Republicans
There are still conservative legs on the GOP “stool”? (Interesting choice of words.)
If this is the best “our side” can put up, I am no part of it.
“...decisions they ‘made in the privacy of [their] own home’...”, huh?
Posted on a “private” Facebook group.
Idiot.
Now, that right there is a REALLY clever pun. “Stool”.
