Dear Friends,
Welcome to the campaign headquarters for the Oregon Senate Democrats.
Use this site to connect with our candidates across Oregon, contact our campaign office at the Senate Democratic Leadership Fund, and find out the latest news on our races.
As we gear up for the 2010 election, we have an exceptionally strong slate of candidates. Our candidates are in touch with everyday Oregonians and are working hard to spur job creation, help our local small businesses, and stand up for Oregon’s families.
Ever since the global recession hit, Senate Democrats have been focused on getting Oregon out of this economic downturn while protecting essential services, like schools and public safety. In both the 2009 and 2010 sessions, we fought to help Oregonians get back to work, balanced the state budget, and protected families from unscrupulous banks and credit card companies.
Senate Democratic candidates across Oregon include 10 members running for reelection, four running against Republican incumbents, and two running in open seats. The blend of experience, leadership, and enthusiasm represented by our slate of candidates is impressive in these times when there are a lot of tough choices to be made in Salem. These candidates are stepping up to work toward a brighter future for Oregon.
A complete list of candidates is below. Thank you for visiting our website!
