Elections
The May 19th Primary is fast approaching! It will be the start of our efforts to take back our country – to re-establish our nation’s core values. It will also affect the course of our state and Curry County. Some of the important open positions are listed below:
Federal Races –
· U.S. Senate – currently held by Jeff Merkley (D) , who is running again.
· U.S. Representative for Oregon's 4th Congressional District – currently held by Val Hoyle (D), who is running again. Dr. Melissa Bird (D) has filed. Monique DeSpain (R) has also filed. · Updated information on this race: INCC has voted to endorse Dr. Melissa Bird in the primary on May 19th. Members were impressed with her progressive values, her experience in achieving results with people of different ideologies, her clear stance on issues aligned with INCC’s goals, her pledge to refuse funds from AIPAC (American-Israeli Political Action Committee), and her commitment to regularly communicate, both in person and through her staff, with her constituents throughout the district. INCC hopes to provide future opportunities for more of our community members to meet Dr. Bird.
State Races –
· Governor – currently held by Tina Kotek (D), who is running again. Six other Democrats have also filed to run, as well as thirteen Republicans. You can look up the candidates HERE
· State Representative, District 1 – currently held by Court Boice (R). Bret Cecil (D) has filed.
· Curry County Commissioner (Non-partisan position)- currently held by Lyn Coker. Jeremy Dumier has filed. WE NEED A CANDIDATE TO FILE WHO WILL REPRESENT A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT IN THIS POSITION.
We will keep you updated on candidates and ballot measures, but for now, there is still an opportunity to become a candidate yourself – or to talk to someone that you believe should run for office. Support is available. Contact INCC for further information.
