Hello. I’m running to serve as a delegate to the SCC again. We have a lot of work to do, and we’re nowhere near done. I intend to work with others in the SCC to bring us back to the bottom up, grassroots organization we’re supposed to be. Thanks.

I work for a labor union, serve on the boards of two nonprofits, am a member of the Oregon Bar, and served in the Army for over six years. I’ve also been a core team member on several local and federal campaigns. Black Lives Matter.

As SCC Delegate, I’d bring experience & progressive ideas to DPO. MultDems leadership 2016-2020: ADL-HD42 & Credentials; Rules Chair (revised Bylaws); founder-Racial Inclusivity Work Group; PRLC Justice Study Group (current Lead); SCC Alternate 2020

Most voters have never even heard of the DPO. Without meaningful, innovative actions and a genuine plan for progress we cannot utilize DPO’s capacity to help people when they need it most. These actions must be done quickly, so let’s get it done.

I live as an Oregonian with a behavioral health disorders. I think we need to grow our diversity as party and have better representation for individuals with disabilities.

My background is in organized labor, non profits, diversity, equity and inclusion for everyone. If elected my promise is to continue supporting working class people, especially women and people of color. I would greatly appreciate your vote.

My friends know me as a tireless organizer who picks up the phone and who does the work. I will fight for democratic values and to dismantle the toxic systems that relentlessly seek to consolidate power in the hands of far too few. In solidarity.

I believe in the role of government to ensure a just society for those it governs, and I want to make sure it does so. I’ve served one session as an Alternate and feel confident with the process (rules and procedures) to be a capable voting Delegate.

I am also a past District Leader, present SCC and 3rd CD delegate, also a member of CAPE for 503 SEIU union.

Having served on the SCC as Chair of the County Party and having served on CD1 as Treasurer and Secretary I am well aware of the frustration that progressive Democrats experience when it comes to change at the DPO. I have learned much that we can use.

My name is Bob Tackett, I am the Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the NW Oregon Labor Council, AFL-CIO and a PCP for Multnomah County HD 49. I’m also an Alternate SCC member. I’m very involved in politics with my job and I’m asking for your vote.

Let’s build proactive, grassroots progressive strategic vision. Empower diversity, marginalized, working class. Serious mutual empathic listening among all sides for transformative solutions. Transparency! Energetic resumé in many MultDems/DPO roles.

As a former Dick Celsi Award winner and former Chair of the 3rd CD, my perspective will help Multdems, the Third CD, and the DPO to achieve their missions: to elect Democrats in Oregon, to expand the Party, and to support progressive ideals.

I’ve spent the past two years volunteering as a community organizer for the presidential race. I’m confident that by working together we can build the kind of democracy and society that works for all Oregonians.

While I served as Communications Officer for MultDems over the last two years, I am proud of the trust and victories we have achieved. Now, I want to join and strengthen our party statewide with accountability, transparency, and coalition building.

As a scientist at OSU, a proud union member, and a former Vice President of the American Federation of Teachers-Oregon, I’ve gained the experience to help lead Oregon forward with progressive policies and values. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been a PCP off & on for 20 years. I have helped many candidates, & worked w/ D elected officials. I came up through the DPO, & spent the Primary tied to the hip of Bernie Sanders. Glad to be home and would be thrilled to serve as a delegate.

I have been a progressive candidate for US Congress and past Chair of the Celsi Celebration. Along with a group of volunteers I led the recent Together4oregon fundraiser. I am committed to making the DPO be a beacon of progressive values.

A vote for Moses Ross is a vote for our bedrock Democratic Party values. Moses’ experience includes MultCo Dems Treasurer, HD35/38 DL, MultCo SCC delegate and as a DPO Rules Committee member. Thank you for all you do and for your vote!

Progressive Democrat, union leader, organizer. I see the work of our Democratic Party as advancing our values and advocating for the future we envision: A sustainable planet and a just country where everyone has healthcare, education and opportunity.

Our Platforms should serve as instructions to our legislators—tempered by their perspectives but reliably taken seriously. My attempt to accomplish this has been ratified by SCC; now I need to vote there to activate the program and other progress.

I was appointed a PCP at our December County Central Committee meeting. As a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians I am familiar with Robert’s Rules of Order and am a strong proponent of the democratic principles behind those rules.

Since 2017, I have stood on the SCC for unstinting resistance to fascism, for Oregon be a national model of what unified Democratic government can accomplish, and for the idea that this party can govern itself in a way that does justice to its name.

My background is in writing, editing, education (college level) and environmental/climate change issues. I believe this will make me a valuable liaison at state and/or Congressional levels.

I have worked over the last several years to increase the participation of PCPs in the development of the most progressive platform in the Country, the Multnomah County Democratic Platform.

I knowing living next month’s paycheck to last month’s bills. Let’s 1) craft an intersectionally-focused, people-powered legislative agenda, 2) empower ALL Oregonians INTO the policy design process, & 3) build a policy advocacy arm of the DPO.

I’ve been organizing & working for progressive candidates & causes for 20 years and am excited to help put Trump’s racist policies in the trash can and represent Multnomah Democrats as we advocate for the values and vision that Oregonians deserve.

We know that a strong Democratic Party is essential to electoral success. Given great challenges the DPO built a fantastic Coordinated Campaign in 2020. I’d like to help continue to build strength and foster the work made our party so successful.

People representing people is what it’s all about. Vote for me & I’ll do just that! Committees: Leg. Liaison (w/ Khanh Pham) & Racial Inclusivity. New facilitator for Election Integrity & hopeful for future. Organize w/ kind people at New Deal Dems.

Very active in Local, State and Federal elections for 25 yrs. As political director for IBEW for 15 years, I lobbied successfully on pro-worker, pro-jobs in the State Legislature. V-Chair of the Labor Caucus, and PCP HD38. Consensus builder.

I want to help keep Oregon Blue. I support the progressive goals of the Democratic Party, and I want to help the DPO and move even farther to the progressive end of the spectrum, especially on climate, income inequality, and health care issues.

I would make a good delegate because I have been writing and distributing compelling resolutions for the Multnomah County Democrats, and I would like to apply that experience to the SCC Platform Committee.

As a progressive Democrat & grassroots activist, I’m dedicated to moving the party, state, & country toward social justice, human rights, transparency, & countervailing power. Currently, I’m an SCC alternate, HD42 ADL, & OR Young Dems Platform Chair.

I am a proud 14 year union member. I was elected to be a delegate at the 2020 Democratic Convention. I serve as the Political Coordinator for IBEW Local 48. Elected in 2020 to serve as a prescient Committee Person in Precinct 4701.

I am a mother, nurse, union leader, and neighbor. I have cared for, listened to and fought alongside you on issues that impact Oregonians. I am asking to continue fight and work with you in the capacity of SCC and CDD.
