To the Editor:

Primary election is approaching fast. Time to elect Jim Crary to represent Oregon Congressional District 2.

Jim’s campaign is 100 percent funded by individual donations — no PACS, corporations or special interests. He has signed the Candidates With a Contract (he helped write it), focusing on combating corruption in politics and campaign finance reform. He is the only Oregon candidate to have signed this. He has also signed the No NRA Money pledge — again, the only Oregon candidate to sign this pledge. And, he has signed the OFF Fossil Fuels Act pledge, HR3671, introduced by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) — one of 121 candidates who have signed this pledge. He has received a Candidate Distinction from Moms Demand Action Gun Sense. Endorsed by Mayor Embanks of Madras and Manuel Gutierrez, Hermiston City Councilor and member of Hispanic Advisory Committee.

Jim’s website is loaded with answers to your questions. He is also available on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Jim is approachable and friendly. He has criss-crossed our District 2 steadily for the last two years. He has been knocking on constituent doors in every part of CD2. Holding town hall discussions, neighbor meetings. Jim loves talking to people! And he answers his phone when you call. He returns phone calls. He has promised that when he gets to Washington, he will personally answer his phone at least five hours a week. Cool!

With Jim Crary as our CD2 Representative, we won’t have to stand on the corner and ask “Where’s Walden?”
