The DeFazio Legacy

Peter DeFazio is retiring from Congress after a remarkable career fighting for progressive causes and the Oregon people.

He leaves behind absolutely enormous shoes, and a legacy that we must secure by ensuring that the people of the 4th district are represented by a Democrat. The Republicans are already claiming that Peter's retirement gives them a big opportunity to capture a seat long-held by Democrats.

Please make a donation to our Oregon Blue Victory Fund today. We have to get organized now to defend Oregon's 4th Congressional District and keep it blue.

In 2020, Republicans rallied behind Trump's handpicked candidate in the 4th. Our hard work sent him down to defeat, but it was a tough, tough fight.

2022 is already proving to be just as pivotal. Trump's candidate is back, and Republicans are looking to the 4th as a critical element in their plan to take over the House.

I absolutely know Democrats in Oregon are going to have a thing or two to say about that plan.

Peter built an extraordinary legacy through hard work as a progressive champion; and he's counting on us to fight with everything we've got to elect a powerful, people-first successor.

There's a big fight ahead. Please chip and let's get started.

Onward!
