Bend

  Dear Friends, Last night, shoppers at a Safeway in Bend were terrorized by a man who opened fire with an AR-15 style weapon — two people were killed, including a store employee who tried to stop him. My heart hurts for the victims, for their loved ones, and for the entire Bend co…

Tina will protect reproductive freedom in Oregon

  John — 62 days ago, the U.S. Supreme Court robbed the people of their right to control their bodies and personal health care decisions. For two months, we have been living in a country dragged backward by anti-abortion politicians, conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court,…

Who is Betsy Johnson?
