Sean Cruz, Candidate for Oregon Senate District 23, featured in Portland Monthly Magazine

The March issue of Portland Monthly Magazine is on the newsstands and in the hands of its subscribers with a feature article titled “The Underdog,” referring to yours truly, Sean Cruz.

The article underscores in its own way that this race for the May 20 Democratic primary is about issues, ideas, and the best fit to succeed the retiring Senator Avel Gordly.

Actually, I’m not that big an underdog. My full-time job for the past five years has been--and is—serving the constituents of Senate District 23, and I am running on that record.

There is campaigning, and then there is providing the service.

Much of my work is reflected on Senator Gordly’s website at www.leg.state.or.us/gordly/news

My web-based campaign is also my contribution to campaign finance reform, and I am completely confident that if I can reach you electronically, I can reach you effectively the same way, and at little or no cost.

I have not actively sought special-interest endorsements or funding, and many of the endorsements the article refers to have little connection to the constituents of Senate District 23, or to the issues that really matter. More on this later.
