I am back from an EXCELLENT weekend. I went to a campaign school sponsored by the Oregon Women's Caucus. In between the Saturday and Sunday sessions, I also attended the Pro-Choice Oregon Annual Dinner (I will post a seperate entry just dedicated the Ursula le Guin speech and leave at a quiet "wow" for now). And for Friday and Saturday evening, "home" was the guest room at Representative Jeff Merkley's. He was very gracious, with two late evening kitchen table conversations, and many valuable introductions at the dinner event, not to mention an adorable 5 year old daughter who decided I was not allowed to leave. (I clearly snuck out, since I am writing from my home in Medford)
The campaign school was great - with good information, contacts, and an encouraging crop of youthful, progressive candidates and staffers.
I am feeling optimistic today :)
