Jamie McLeod Skinner More Endorsements + Non-Affiliated Canvassing Begins
Indivisible Clackamas, Indivisible Willamette, and Rhythm Nation have endorsed Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Congress. Jamie is running in newly-redrawn District 5 against Kurt Schrader, a 14-year incumbent who has taken more money from the fossil fuel and pharmaceutical industries than just about any Democrat in Congress. If you’d like to support Jamie’s campaign, one way is to attend the COIN Voter Outreach Team’s non-affiliated voter canvassing event on March 5, from 10:00am to 1:00pm, in Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood, which is now part of District 5. The purpose of this deep canvassing effort is to identify non-affiliated voters who lean progressive, learn about their concerns, suggest that those who lean blue re-register as Democrats, and make sure that people know about the May 17 primary. Sign up here. If you want to participate in the canvassing effort but aren't ready to hit the streets just yet, there will be a simultaneous phone bank, which you can sign up for here. To prepare for the canvass, consider joining a virtual training, which will be held on March 3 from 6:30-8:00pm. Sign up here.
