A statement from the family of Willam C. “Bill” Bradbury
We announce with great sorrow the death of Bill Bradbury on April 14, 2023. He was 73 years young.
Bill died of unexpected medical complications while with his wife of 36 years, Katy Eymann, delighting in a six-month cruise around the world, one of his lifetime dreams.
His zest for life, his positive outlook, and his commitment to public service in his beloved Oregon are legendary. Bill embraced life, living it to the fullest despite doing so with multiple sclerosis for more than 40 years.
A service of remembrance and celebration of Bill’s life will be planned and announced for a future time.

​More than 100 people turned out Saturday evening, March 25, for the Democratic Party of Oregon and Linn County Democrats Fundraising Dinner at Linn-Benton Community College. Congresswoman Val Hoyle, speaking via live video from Washington, D.C., and Democratic State Sen. Sara Gelser Blouin both fired up the crowd, and DPO Executive Director delivered a well-crafted financial appeal. Linn Dems put together the "Bounty of Linn County," an array of creative gift baskets and delicious desserts that were raffled off. The raffles raised more than $3,000 for the Linn County Democrats. Thanks to all who donated items and made contributions. ​

​Join us at 5 p.m. today (Sunday, April 2), as we continue our effort to assure that the outcome of this coming election reflects our commitment to excellence in education for all of our students. To receive Zoom access, please contact NLP Leadership Team member Nancy Greenman.
We'll hear from more of our candidates, whose vision and priorities will strengthen the talking points we share with our Democratic neighbors.  We'll detail the timeline and range of opportunities to get out the vote, take a quick tour of the Neighborhood Leader database, and Linn Dems Chair Jerred Taylor will remind us how to use the Secretary of State's website to track contributions to candidates. Last but not least, we'll continue our role-plays to show how it's done!
Thanks for helping to support our schools and our democracy!
