Voornaam, The ballots are dropping in Oregon, and we can't afford a cruise to the finish â we need to kick things into our highest gear. This is not only the most critical election in our history, but itâs also the most difficult campaign season weâve ever undertaken. In this year of COVID-19, even the Presidential Campaign offices never opened in Oregon. But the dynamics of the pandemic have NOT inhibited the GOP from what they do best â raise gobs of cash from uber-wealthy donors. At the same time, Democrats have been unable to do what we do best â make tens of thousands of face-to-face contacts on the doors and at events.
There are also assumptions made about Oregon that could hurt Democrats. How? Our own great Democratic performances pulled us out of the âswing stateâ category after 2004. When Republican waves swept the nation in 2010 and 2014, Oregon bent a little, but did not break â maintaining our Congressional numbers, our representation in our state Executive branch, and never ceding majorities in either Salem legislative chamber. But amidst this yearâs pandemic and horrific wildfires, the national GOP has targeted Oregon, pouring money into our state and targeting Oregon Democrats. They have an incompetent and unqualified candidate running against Congressman Peter DeFazio in Congressional District 4, and are fighting tooth and nail to try to prevent Democrats from electing progressive champion Shemia Fagan as our next Secretary of State. So even if Democratic confidence in Oregon is strong, it is ESSENTIAL that all of us run through the finish line in this yearâs election. Oregon Democratic candidates up and down the ballot need your help right up until 8pm on Election Day. Oregon turned blue because Democrats like you trailblazed that path. And we know Oregon stays blue because of the hard work and energy of our supporters, volunteers, and Democrats all across the state. Letâs do this! KC Hanson P.S.
