Dear Neighbors,

I am honored to have served four terms as your state representative and now in my first term as your State Senator.  I’m proud of my accomplishments thus far.  We had a historic session in 2011 where we made real progress in the areas of education, health care, protecting our environment and economic development. As the Chair of the Senate Committee on Environment & Natural Resources, I was proud to lead the charge to ban toxic chemicals from children’s products, expand Oregon’s historic bottle bill, and block attempts to weaken our land use and environmental protections. I was honored that as a result of my effort, the Oregon League of Conservation Voters selected me as their Environmental Champion of 2011.

When people talk about the 2011 session, they are likely to also point to our success reigning in out-of-control tax credits and passing both a legislative and congressional redistricting plan for the first time in a century. It was truly a historic session.  Yet, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done.

I will need your continued support so I can keep up the good fight.  In May, I’ll be on the ballot running for my first re-election to the Senate.  With updated district boundaries this year, I cannot afford to take anything for granted, and there are new voters that need to hear our message about building a progressive future in Oregon.   I hope I can count on your support for re-election.

If you have any questions or comments, send me a message.  I hope you’ll take a moment to “like” me on Facebook.

Regards,

State Senator Jackie Dingfelder
