Where's Lori?

The question was still unanswered  during
a caravan that included 
an Albany stop
Since Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer took office as Congressional District 5 representative in 2023, she has not held a single in-person and unscripted Town Hall.
 ​
Picture
  Constituents, including a number of  Linn County Democrats, who hope to unseat her in the Nov. 5 election, held a "Looking for Lori" caravan that started Saturday morning in Bend and included a late afternoon stop at the Linn County Courthouse. 
​​   Twenty-eight people held a rally there with signs and a cutout of Chavez-DeRemer peeking
Picture
​​​   Twenty-eight people held a rally there with signs and a cutout of Chavez-DeRemer peeking from behind the courthouse flagpole. The popular cutout was the one of Kamala Harris that Nancy Greenman and Susan Leonard posed with above. The caravan will end today in Oregon City, where Chavez-DeRemer's Democratic opponent, Janelle Bynum, will speak.
