RSVP to Join the Debate in Oregon!


On March 30, Democratic candidates Bill Bradbury and former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, and Republican candidate Allen Alley, will be asked to lay out their solutions for the challenges that face Oregon's environment and natural resources. The debate, hosted by Environment Oregon, Oregon Environmental Council, Oregon League of Conservation Voters, and the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club will address a range of topics including climate change and clean energy, toxics and public health, and the management of the state's natural resources and special places. The candidates' performance and stated positions in the debate will not only serve to educate voters, but will also serve as one of the criteria in the endorsement decisions of two of the host organizations: The Oregon League of Conservation Voters and the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club.
