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.

Facebook isn’t private.
Most likely a FB employee is the source of the leak.
Republican... Oregon .. no such thing. More like Liberal light
You’re no warrior for freedom. No, what you are is a bigot.
The Roy Moore allegations were cold lies. The places she supposedly met up with him didn’t even exist back then. But our side decided to throw in with the liars because Roy Moore wasn’t classy enough.
Coming from a person like you that’s a real compliment. I will wear your scorn as a true Red, White & Blue badge of honor.
Do you support Trump? Because you might want to ask Marla Maples if he was a cheat.
The guy MUST be a perv
I didn’t want to see Roy Moore win that GOP primary because I thought he was unelectable. That had nothing to do with him not being “classy enough.” He just had such awful political skills that he had burned his bridges with the entire Republican Party in Alabama. He would have been a very unreliable vote in the U.S. Senate on almost any bill of substance.
“Roger Stone was a swinger and Trump was a serial adulterer - with porn stars, no less. Used to be I’d only vote for straight arrows like Dubya and Romney. These days, it’s clear that their repressed urges find other outlets - they’re great to their wives, but screw their voters.”
This is the post of the day. You win the internet, and this post should be the end of the argument.
Congratulations!
This should help them pick up a sh*tload of ‘democrat’ votes.
What a dope.
He most likely decided to stop the immoral lifestyle when he realized it would be politically disadvantageous for him.
Ahhh, the new Republican rallying cry: "We Have No Standards"!!
Is that better?
Absolute standard? You mean like marriage being defined as between one man and one women?
If that is setting the bar too high, then we have already lost.
Doubt that...Heard is a basket case
Operating word here is: "was".
We have all sinned, but a repentant heart doesn't glory in his sin.
The right has already slid into the slop pool.
I know nothing about this guy, beyond this article.
But if you really believe all the propaganda you read about the “squeeky” clean lives if our politicians you need to expand your material.
They are the same mix of decent-to-dirtbag as the general population. And I think we can agree that its a pretty wide gamut.
And...when you sit at church as talk to your peers—you have absolutely no idea of their previous “life” experience, kinks, and any other dirt. I guarantee you they did things in their lives they are not thrilled about. I know very few people who don’t have something in their past.
My thought on this whole thing is that someone dumb enough to talk about this stuff on an open facebook page is too dumb to be elected to anything.
Private things should remain private.
You must have loved Jimmy Carter, then.
