DeFazio to attend event designed to help gather signatures
(EUGENE, OR) – Today, Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) announced his endorsement of Jim Middaugh for the Portland Commission Seat Number 2.
“I wholeheartedly endorse Jim Middaugh’s candidacy for Portland City Council,” said DeFazio. “Jim worked on my staff after I was first elected to Congress. Jim is an extremely bright, energetic and compassionate person who brings a constituent-oriented approach to public service. He’s a proven consensus builder and problem solver and I know he would be a tremendous asset on the Council.”
To help Middaugh qualify for Portland’s public financing program, DeFazio will be attending a signature-gathering event Sunday, January 20th at 5:30pm at the Lucky Labrador Brewing Company (915 SE Hawthorne Blvd).
Forms to support Middaugh’s candidacy will be available at the event. They are also available at Middaugh’s website http://middaughforportland.com.
