Just The News: Alek Skarlatos, the Army National Guard veteran who helped stop a 2015 terror attack on a Paris-bound train, is now taking on the challenge of trying to unseat long-time Oregon Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio.
DeFazio has held the seat in the state’s 4th congressional district for 33 years, but the race, just weeks before Election Day, shows signs of being competitive.
The 27-year-old Skarlatos has effectively matched DeFazio in fundraising numbers – $ 1.3 million to $1.7 million, according to the most recent federal filings. And in the 2016 presidential race, Democrat Hillary Clinton barely defeated President Trump in the district, which suggests a similar number of Republican and Democratic voters. more here
SNIP: Alek Skarlatos For Congress
Unfortunately ultra-liberal Eugene is in that district. The 23,000 students at UO probably vote at least twice.
Hopefully the irresponsible brain dead useful-idiot students at U of O are not in school until after the election.
If I lived in his district in Oregon I would certainly vote for him.
MAN of action!
Shame I’m a republican in PA; I can’t vote for him. But if I were a democrap ANYWHERE, I COULD vote for him. 🙄
If I were dead, I could even vote “democrap” HUNDREDS of times! For LIFE!!! 🤪
I wish him the best. We need Good Men in politics
instead of shrews and spoiled little boys.
