Jefferson Smith - b&w

We are stronger together than we are apart, and our district can help lead Oregon forward. Together, with a lot of hard work, we can advocate for the 47th District, and we can help make Oregon an example for the nation.

Dear Neighbor,

Welcome to my website. I am extremely honored to be representing District 47 in the Oregon State House this legislative session. Now is a time of big challenge and big opportunity for East Portland and Mid-County. And with strong community focus and a lot of hard work, we can make some real change: ever better schools, improved health care, safer streets, a stronger and fairer economy, and a system that works as well for folks east of 205 as for folks west of it.

Oregon should lead the nation into this next century, and we need to bring communities together to advocate for the basics to make that happen—basics like schools, jobs, and health care.

If I haven’t been to your doorstep yet, please fell free to contact me via email or phone, or visit me at my office in Salem.

Forward.

'He doesn't find out what people want to hear and dig around until he finds a principle of his that he can make correspond,' says Klugman. 'Way too much of that goes on, but he's not willing to do that.'"
