Oregon State Building Trades endorses Ben!
I am proud to announce that the Oregon State Building Trades Council
has endorsed me in the general election. It’s an honor to have the
workingmen and women of Oregon backing me in my effort to represent
the people of Western Washington County, and I look forward to working
with them in my capacity as a candidate and an elected official.
Move in day, and a kick-off reminder
We’re moving into the new office today. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s a real office! The new address is:
238 SE Washington St
Hillsboro, OR 97123
This office is absolutely an improvement on the old space, aka Ben’s house. What the new spot lacks in “lived-in” charm, it makes up for in space, desks, chairs – you know, it’s a real office.
Now though, we need to warm it up a bit. So we are holding a General Election Campaign Kick-off, and I’d love to have you there.
The kick-off is at 3 pm on Sunday the 22nd of July, and I truly hope you can make it.
The next four months are going to be full of hard work, and I want to make sure to set the right mood for it with a bit of fun. Please RSVP to Louis at louis@benunger.com so we know how many people to expect.
After the 4th, this is the next best thing in July
Happy Independence Day.
Every year for the 4th, for as long as I can remember, our family has gotten together with friends – at the farm or at my sister’s – someplace where we’ve celebrated our freedom, our families, and our community. This week is a week for celebration, it’s one of my favorite weeks of the year – and in honor of the old Unger traditions of 4th of July parties, we’re planning some big fireworks that I want to tell you about.
We’re having a party of our own – a Campaign Kick-off for the General Election at our new campaign headquarters (we’re out of the home-quarters and in a new office now) on July 22nd at 3 pm. There’s going to be food, fun and a short speech or two. Think of it as a volunteer appreciation party for all the hard work we’re about to do together.
I’d love to have you there.
You can RSVP to Louis at louis@benunger.com.
Thank you all and looking forward to the fun ahead,
Ben

First Endorsement of the General Election
I'm pleased to announce that I've received the endorsement of the Oregon State Council for Retired Citizens. I know the legislature can do more to protect seniors from scams and abuse, and I'm looking forward to working with the Council on making that a reality after November and their help throughout the campaign.
