Time to leave it all on the field

  John, It’s crunch time — there’s exactly ONE WEEK left till Election Day. In this final stretch, we need your support now more than ever. Can you chip in $10 to help us knock on more doors and talk to more voters about why we need to elect Tina Kotek to keep moving Oregon forward…

One hour left

  John, With just an hour to go before we close the books on the final end-of-month deadline on the campaign, we really need your help to hit our goal. We can’t come up short. If you can spare $10 before midnight, we’d really appreciate it. We can — and must — make sure MAGA Christ…

A vote for Betsy is a vote for Drazan

  This is urgent, John, The Bulletin reports that Tina’s conservative opponent Betsy Johnson is “in [the] governor’s race until it’s over.” Polls show that Betsy doesn’t have a chance to win this race, and she is paving the way for MAGA Republican Drazan to win. We need to let Oreg…

BOO! 🎃

  Things are getting scary this Halloween. Tina’s opponent, MAGA Republican Christine Drazan, has a vision for Oregon that is truly horrifying. Despite trying to hide it from Oregonians, she supports banning abortion, she campaigns with election deniers and conspiracy theorists, an…

One billionaire — just one guy...

  We can’t let just one guy buy this election for Tina’s opponent.  We’re asking everyone we can to make a contribution before our final end-of-month deadline at midnight tomorrow to help us go toe-to-toe with Republican billionaire Phil Knight’s millions. Can we count on you? If …

MAGA Republican Christine Drazan

  Hey John, Tina’s Republican opponent Christine Drazan is trying to conceal her MAGA Republican ways. Before we get into it, we have an important ask: Can you please chip in $10 right now to help us meet our end-of-month fundraising goal? We have less than 12 hours to reach our cr…

Oregon’s working families trust Tina

  John,  Tina is the only candidate with the record and endorsements to show that she will fight to solve the issues facing working families.  She passed a bill to protect renters from huge rent spikes and no-cause evictions.    She pushed through a measure to help build more affo…

Inside Elections downgraded Tina’s race

  John, another election forecaster has updated our election rating — Inside Elections changed our race from "Tilt Democratic" to "Toss-up." Republicans nationwide are eyeing Oregon as the best pickup opportunity in the entire 2022 election cycle. We can't let the MAGA Republicans …

Christine Drazan is taking a play from Trump’s playbook

  John, In less than two months, MAGA Republican Christine Drazan has been on Fox News 9 times — she’s using the same network that helped elect Donald Trump to gain attention. So in honor of Christine Drazan becoming the latest darling of Fox News, chip in $9 to help our campaign f…

Christine is lying again

  John, Tina’s out-of-touch MAGA Republican opponent Christine Drazan is putting up millions of dollars worth of dishonest advertisements on TV and in the mail. She’s just one of many MAGA Republicans who are employing what CNN is calling a “dishonesty-filled barrage” of attack ads…
