Why was Kevin McCarthy in Oregon?

Dear Voornaam,

Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy visited Oregon Wednesday to raise big bucks for Republicans running for Congress across our state.

What does that tell us? If elected, these Oregon Republicans will be no different than Donald Trump, McCarthy, or the rest of the GOP caucus. These Oregon Republicans will pretend to care about the issues facing average Oregonians – high gas prices, the infant formula shortage, and the cost of prescription drugs – while they vote against any bill that would lower costs, defend reproductive rights, or make life better for their fellow Americans.

How will they vote on reproductive rights? They will vote to ban abortion nationwide, even in Oregon.

Remember, you can use your 2020 Oregon Political Tax Credit to give – it's like a free $50 donation.

McCarthy’s visit also makes it clear that the road to the House majority runs through Oregon! We need to elect Democrats in all six of our House seats to stop Republicans from dragging us backwards.

We’re just 75 days from Election Day. The Democratic Party of Oregon has proven over and over that we know how to win tough elections. It’s all about “people power” – neighbors talking to neighbors at their front doors or over the phone. That is how we cut through the lies that people read on social media or see on Fox News.

We only have 75 days to elect Senator Ron Wyden, Tina Kotek as Governor, Christina Stephenson as Labor Commissioner, Democrats in all six Oregon congressional districts, and grow our legislative majorities. It’s an “all-hands-on-deck” moment. Please chip in or volunteer for a shift ASAP to reach the voters we need to win.

Yours in the fight for democracy,
Oregon Dems
