Dear Friends,
I am writing to thank you all for your wonderful help in our recent and previous congressional campaigns.
While we did not win in this election cycle, we significantly improved.
Congressional District 4 Oregon is geographically the size of the country of Switzerland and has 350,000 homes. Communicating with these homes with the impediment of a 30-year unprincipled career politician constantly misrepresenting our policies is a formidable task.
Still, in all three previous elections, we won in all 4 rural counties. (No other challenger had ever before won more than one county against DeFazio since he became entrenched in office.)
This time we won 5 of the 7 counties, including a 5th county that is part rural and part urban.
The remaining 2 counties are urban centers that each includes a large university, Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. These counties are affluent as a result of very large influxes of government money to the universities and have typically leftist tendencies.
We received 40% of the vote overall.
Please accept the most respectful thanks from the Robinson family to all of you who have supported us in this unusual but worthwhile endeavor.
Sincerely yours,
Art
