(Updated Sept. 10)
The Linn County Democrats Campaign Office, at 2850 Santiam Highway S.E., office opening has been postponed until Monday, Sept. 14, because of the continuing smoky conditions from northwest Oregon wildfires.
The office is next to Dutch Bros and across the street from Les Schwab Tires.
Hours will be 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays through Nov. 3.
Joe Biden-Kamala Harris lawn signs and Jeff Merkley, Peter DeFazio and Miriam Cummins lawn signs and Ellen Rosenblum window signs will be available when the office opens. We suggest a donation of $5 for the Biden-Harris signs. 
We also have a variety of campaign buttons and we’ll be making more.
Masks and social distancing will be required in the office.
For more information about the office, contact Paula Connaghan at pconnaghan@crabtreeautorepair.com or 541-971-3606, or Graham Kislingbury at g.kislingbury@comcast.net or 541-974-2075.
