Bonamici Wins Oregon Primary!

The wait to determine who will be the Democratic nominee to replace David Wu as the Representative in Oregon’s 1st Congressional District.  Although she was not my first choice, I have no qualms that she will represent me well, if we can get her past the Republican nominee in January.  Among the leading Democrats there were no bad choices.

Early returns show the two candidates with strong leads over a large field of candidates vying to fill the Northwest Oregon congressional seat left vacant after Democrat David Wu was forced out of office in August following a sex scandal.

Cornilles [Republican delinked], who owns a Tualatin sports marketing firm, was winning more than 70 percent of the vote over four other rivals.  Bonamici, a state senator from Beaverton, was winning about two-thirds of the vote in the eight-way Democratic primary.

Both candidates now face a 12-week sprint until the Jan. 31 special election to fill the only current vacancy in Congress.  The winner will serve the remainder of Wu’s term but will have to quickly turn around and run in May primary and in November as well to win a full two-year term…

Congratulations to Suzanne, who has distinguished herself as a warrior for consumer protection against criminal corporations, especially Banksters.  Here is one of her ads.

This is the Republican opposing her for the seat.

Rob Cornilles wants us to believe that he is progressive and moderate.  Don’t fall for that lie.

I happily endorse Suzanne Bonamici for Congress and have made a donation to her campaign.  I urge all Oregonians to join me.

  1. I’m glad your candidate won her primary.

  2. I wish her the best-glad she won!

  3. Cornilles appears to be a Baby Flip Flop, not sure what he believes in or is!  Bonamici appears to have solid credentials and certainly has experience at the state level.  Hopefully she will kick some GOP butt!
