Letter: ‘A chance to vote for change in Oregon’

July 29, 2022

In November, we will have a chance to vote for change in Oregon. We need to balance the power in Salem and remove the supermajority. Randy Sparacino will tip that balance and provide leadership to help represent all Oregonians.

As to governor, we will have the opportunity to elect an Independent, Betsy Johnson, to lead our state. I have worked with Betsy, and she brings leadership that will be reminiscent of Tom McCall that did so much for Oregon. If Oregon can elect an Independent for governor, it will rock the establishment in the nation, and we should all concur that politics need that. 

So please join me in support of these two candidates. Questions or discussion? Call me at 541-944-1600.
