Cherie and I extend a heart felt and sincere thank you to our family, our friends, our supporters, our volunteers and the voters of House District 39 for the honor of being re-elected and returned to Salem to serve our citizens.

We all worked hard, knocked on many, many doors, dotted supporters’ yards with lawn and field signs, called voters, wrote letters to the editor, attended community events and got our message of less spending and less government to the voters.  It is the message the voters wanted to hear!

Now we must continue to work hard to bring economic health back to Oregon – creating new jobs, assisting businesses, keeping our citizens safe, providing the best educational opportunities to our children, keeping seniors healthy and helping those most in need.  This is not an easy task, especially with a $3.2 billion deficit – but, together, we will work towards setting solid priorities and finding the best solutions.

Our sign teams (including me) were out picking up our lawn signs – I got at 8:45 on Wednesday evening.  And, if we don’t pick yours up by Friday, please send us an email and we will come by and pick it up.

As we prepare for the 2011 legislative session, your thoughts, views and innovative ideas on how to bring Oregon back are most welcome.   Thank you, again, for the privilege of serving and representing you.

Blessings,
Bill and Cherie
