Portland's great African-American newspaper, The Skanner--endorsed Jeff Merkley for U.S. Senate. Here's what they had to say:

United States Senator: Jeff Merkley. Merkley has shown strong, effective leadership as speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives. He deserves the chance to take on Sen. Gordon Smith in November.

They're absolutely right. Jeff Merkley has been a fantastic leader in this state! Jeff is ready to take the fight to Gordon Smith and be Oregon's next great U.S. Senator.
