Jeff Merkley Will Bring Our Troops Home.

Congress should pass a commonsense plan to ensure that all Americans -- young and old, rich and poor -- receive quality health care. You can count on me to help launch a strong federal effort to make the switch to clean, renewable energy, and halt our headlong rush toward destructive climate change. Oregon needs a new U.S. Senator who will bring a real passion to the job. A passion for tax fairness, public education and for helping ordinary, everyday Oregonians achieve their aspirations and make their dreams come true.

I believe we can put the public interest before the special interests in our nation's capital again. I've spent my career in Oregon fighting for what matters for regular working families. Now, I'm ready to continue that fight in the U.S. Senate.

Gordon Smith Does Not Reflect The Values Of Most Oregonians.

Phone the PAC headquarters at 503-224-8200 or visit the web site at StopGordonSmith.com.

Kate Brown will bring dedication and a hard work ethic to the job.

State government can work better. The Secretary of State manages auditing of government, and in leading that effort, I know we will find even more efficiencies and savings for taxpayers. It means real dollars to Oregonians - and that matters to me.

I want to represent all Oregonians. Oregon's limited number of statewide elected officials means each plays a key role in representing all citizens and setting policies and agendas affecting the way we live now and will live tomorrow. As a statewide elected official, I would continue to fight for improving education, stewarding our environment and seeking creative solutions to growing our economy, in both our rural and our urban communities.
