October Strategy Survey

  John, I’m proud to be running a campaign focused on the issues Oregonians care about. We’re at a critical juncture, and I need your input! With 27 days until the election, everything we do needs to be laser-focused on challenges and solutions that you care about. There’s so much …

4 sentence email

  John, we hope this four-sentence email is one of the shortest in your inbox. There’s ONE week until ballots drop in mailboxes all across the state — to put it another way, voting starts in ONE week. We must reach Oregon voters and educate them on how Betsy Johnson and Christine D…

We’ve got to get this out to Oregon voters

  Hey John, MAGA Republican Christine Drazan has a tried and true pivot when she's asked about her views on abortion: “I’ll follow the law.” If that sounds familiar, it's because that is the same line that Trump-nominated Supreme Court justices used to mislead the public before the…

Gas prices go up, oil companies make record profits, rinse and repeat

  Hi John, Yep, we’re feeling it again. Gas prices are up. Last week, the average cost of gas across Oregon rose to $5.53 per gallon, up more than 80 cents from a month ago. It’s outrageous! Guess who’s making record-shattering profits? Big Oil. The combined profits of the largest …

Nate Silver thinks Oregon could turn red

  John — The latest analysis from FiveThirtyEight should be a wake up call to all Democrats — we are facing a serious threat of a Republican takeover of Oregon. Political experts are calling this race a “toss up” — we need to mobilize *now* and use the full strength of our grassro…

Betsy is not being transparent

  Hey John, We will get straight to the point. Betsy Johnson has failed to release her tax returns in a move that goes against decades of precedent. Her failure to be transparent with the people of Oregon is incredibly telling. It takes a page straight out of Donald Trump’s playbo…

Report: Drazan is campaigning with a far-right militia leader

Another race downgrade

Abortion is an economic justice issue

Just off the stage

  Hey John — I’m *just* out of the TV studio after the debate here in Portland. I heard a lot of empty promises from my opponents during tonight’s debate. The truth is they have no actual plans to tackle the issues that matter most to Oregonians. All they’ll do is push Oregon to the…
