Chris Harker wins recommendation for nomination to replace Susan Bonamici in State Senate last night

[cascadiance]

Attended the Nomination Convention last night to create a list of recommended candidates to replace Susan Bonamici in the State Senate who's now running to replace David Wu as our congressman here.

The three nominees to replace Bonamici to be sent to the Washington and Multinomah board of commissioners are in order of votes:

1 - Chris Harker
2 - Elizabeth Steiner Hayward
3 - Paul Terdal

Going as it has pretty much in the past, the board will select the number one choice of this election, Chris Harker to be the new State Senator.

This means that there will be a vacancy to be filled in the State House to fill Chris Harker's spot there, which he will resign shortly if and when he's approved to fill the State Senate seat. So timing is even more critical to vote for his replacement, as right now the State House is an even split of Dems and Republicans, and one session where the Dems miss one seat could be disastrous. So, if you have some recommendations for who we put in or issues you want to see put forth to the candidates to replace Harker to be considered, PM me or talk to another PCP you might know in this district, who will be voting on them shortly. This convention will most likely be happening in early January.
