DFA-List candidate Jeff Merkley wins in Oregon
DFA-List candidate Jeff Merkley won in his race for state senator on Tuesday. Here's what he had to say:
My fellow Oregonians,
I am deeply humbled by the trust you have put in me. It is tremendous. Thank you.
Over the next six years, I will work with Ron Wyden to address the many challenges we face as Oregonians and Americans.
We will draw on the strengths of every citizen to fix our broken health care system; end the war in Iraq and bring our sons and daughters home; and strengthen America's middle class to put our nation back on track.
We will conquer these challenge if we come together, shed old rivalries that divide us, and put working families first. I pledge to fight every single day for working Americans, but I cannot do it without each and every one of you.
I look forward to working with you, Ron Wyden, and our new President-elect Barack Obama in the months and years ahead to bring Oregon the change it deserves.
Again, thank you for your support and for your vote. I am deeply humbled to be your next U.S. Senator.
Onward for change,
Jeff Merkley
