Vote Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Oregon Congressional District 5

A person who demonstrates the ability to bridge the urban-rural divide is the type of person we want representing us in Congress.
by The Source Staff

We endorsed Jamie McLeod-Skinner, an attorney, engineer and Regional Emergency Coordinator in the primary when she knocked out Kurt Schrader, and our endorsement stands in the general election, too.
