Friend,
Did you get my email the other day? I wanted to re-up it for you because we’re in a crucial point of this race, and we need all hands on deck.
Several months ago, we suspected that these kind of attacks were coming. That the most powerful special interests in our state would try to control our ballot boxes. That the attacks would be untruthful and desperate and a complete misrepresentation of me and my independent record.
And friend, unfortunately, they came earlier this week… and I need YOU more than ever right now.
And for the next 24 hours alone we have a generous donor willing to match every dollar you give 2x.
We think this is absolutely necessary to help us fight back against my opponents lies, all while ensuring that we are able to keep our latest ad live on the air and share the truth with people across Bend.
Will you chip in anything you are able RIGHT NOW for a limited time, 24-hour match?
| DONATE |
In Bend, we are independent. We celebrate the values of all while remaining effective.
We must continue to keep the values of our people and neighborhoods ahead of the extreme partisanship that continues to tear us apart. Now more than ever we need an independent voice willing to break with their party to forge compromise and progress for Bend.
Friend, will you chip in $25 RIGHT NOW for a 2x match to help me share the truth and defend Bend?

Friend,
My do-nothing opponent has launched a desperate, false and misleading attack ad – challenging my independence and 10 year record of accomplishments in education. For someone who is nothing more than a silent spectator in supporting our local schools -- his attacks are particularly ironic and ring hollow.

I need your help to fight back against these lies. Please make a donation today to help defend myself against his misleading attacks. Your contribution will help me keep this ad on the air – I love it and think you will too.
For the past ten years – eight years on the school board and two years as your State Representative, I’ve been a tireless advocate for our kids, our schools and for better education for all children in Oregon. The truth:
-
Funding: I delivered the biggest K-12 education budget in state history for Bend La-Pine schools. And when our district was facing budget cuts due to the economic crisis, I voted to direct $400 million from the state rainy day fund to protect school budgets across the state -- and here in Bend.
-
Graduation: While graduation rates were stagnant across the state, I joined with local educators and fellow members to help raise local high school graduation rates by 10%.
-
Overcrowding: I helped secure voter-approval to build 4 new schools to help relieve classroom overcrowding. When our kids return to classroom learning, they will experience the difference.
-
Safety: Prioritizing student safety and security, I helped deliver new safety entrances for 22 schools across our district.
-
Sustainability: To protect our environment, I worked to replace dirty diesel engine school buses with cleaner burning fuels.
Sincerely,
Cheri
