Chuck prepares to run:

Chuck is already gearing up in preparation for the election in 2004. Mary Gallegos, after narrowly defeating Chuck in the 2002 general election, has chosen to follow the far right agenda of the neo-conservative movement at every opportunity. Chuck is a moderate Democrat who would love to see a cooperative, bipartisan legislature like the ones that made Oregon the pride of the nation, not the partisan and suffocating Republican controlled legislature that we have today. With that in mind, Chuck has once again decided to throw his hat in the ring and try to bring common sense and moderate politics to District 29 and to the Oregon House of Representatives.

Hillsboro 4th of July Parade:

Chuck, his family and several volunteers will be marching in the parade again this year, and if last year was any indication, Chuck will not really be marching, but shaking hands, greeting parade watchers, and then running to catch up. It's quite an event, so come on out and see the biggest 4th of July parade in Oregon. Better yet, come out and walk with Chuck!

Vacation first, then work, work, work:

Chuck and his wife Katie will be leaving the day after the parade for a well deserved vacation. They will return home on or about August 13, after making a great loop through 17 states visiting friends and family and seeing the sights. When they get back, Chuck will begin in earnest, gathering volunteers, raising money, and meeting voters, not necessarily in that order.

Event coordinator:

Michelle Thurber has volunteered to coordinate house parties and other fund raising events for the campaign. Michelle has gained much valuable experience in event planning and fundraising in her work with nonprofits, political activism, and prior campaign work. She will be a valued member of the team, and will serve on Chuck's "kitchen cabinet".

Quote of the week:

"I think this race will be harder in many ways, but easier in many as well. After doing the analysis of the 2002 election, I know where to work to get the votes. Money will be harder to come by, but I think I know better how to reach those folks whose votes will put me over the top." - Chuck Riley, candidate for HD29.
