Long time DU lurker running for State Rep in Oregon [View all]

Hi everyone,

During the first Bush administration I began paying attention to politics thanks to a local radio station in Portland, 620AM KPOJ. I would listen to the progressive programming and commiserate with Democrats everywhere. Not long after that I found DU.

I have regularly read through the latest and greatest on DU ever since and I even chime in occasionally (though my post count is quite low), but this year I decided to take my political activism a little further and run for my state legislature.

I'd appreciate it if you'd surf over to my website at raylister.com and let anyone who might be interested in helping out know about my campaign. Thanks for being a part of the community that helped me choose this path.
