Help Earl Decide!

NOTE:
The Help Earl Decide Challenge is no longer running. This page - round one - is here purely for archival purposes. Please feel free to select candidates and go to the next step. But you can't send Earl your picks, and they won't be counted.

See the finalist round and the final results.

Help Congressman Earl Blumenauer decide which Oregon House Democrats should each receive a contribution of $1000 for their campaigns.

Which candidates have demonstrated grassroots support, raised the tough issues, shown leadership in their communities, and can help lead Oregon? In short, which candidates have earned Earl's money? You make the call.

Just check the boxes for three to five challengers and three to five incumbents, scroll to the bottom, and submit your vote.
