Urban Democrats have little awareness of rural issues that impact the lives and livelihood of those living in rural areas of the state, like House District 4. Issues such as preventing wildfires, restoring salmon runs, meeting the needs of working families, making sure we support our farms and improving our relations with the Bureau of Land Management. They are thinking about the issues that impact urban life in Portland, Salem and Eugene, not places like Riddle, Glendale, or Gold Hill.
The question is what are we going to do about it? The answer is simple; send a Democrat, Richard Chasm, to the Majority Caucus. Rural Oregonians will be heard where the power resides. “I have lived in the same parcel of timberland since I was 8 years old. I know the land of the 4th District and what it takes to live here. As a Realtor I learned to seek win-win settlements and effective solutions.” Vote for Richard Chasm and you will be heard at the Oregon State legislature.
