Let’s congratulate one of our own WILPF Portland members who ran for Congress in Oregon on the Progressive Party slate.
David E. Delk, WILPF member and member of the Economic Justice Action Group of the First Unitarian Church in Portland, ran against Democrat Representative Earl Blumenauer in Portland’s 3rd Congressional District.
David has been active in Portland Move To Amend, working hard to get money out of politics and to reverse Citizens United with a constitutional amendment.
Running for office is a huge commitment, win or lose. David received 7.3 percent of the vote, or 26,000 votes. If you’d like to drop David a note to thank him for his effort and to congratulate him on his run, you may reach him at 112 NE 45th Ave., Portland OR 97213.
