Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

DeFazio certainly was our only House rep with decent stands on Fast Track, and I think he is strong in areas that Wyden has been strong in the past in areas like protecting our privacy. There are many of us calling his office to get him to run. Not sure if he's going to yet, but I think he's certainly had a lot of feedback in this state to announce now. He did run against Wyden many years back in the primary to replace Packwood, he narrow lost to Wyden then. I think he could beat Wyden this time around. And I think we would be better off with him running for senator in the general election now than Wyden too, as I think Wyden might have a lot of people stay home this election, especially independents not happy with his fast track vote.
