STATEWIDE (INNER SE Office)
Gov. John Kitzhaber http://www.johnkitzhaber.com (Coordinated Campaign office is in the old Obama Main office at 30th and Division) Daily: phone banks and regular canvasses. John is neck and neck in a race - he has real solutions and plans for the state, but needs our help to get his message out to the voters.
