The Oregonian Sticks With Jeff Cogen

“Dynamic…infectiously enthusiastic…a gifted problem-solver.”

On September 29, Oregon’s major daily newspaper once again threw its support behind Jeff’s campaign for Multnomah County Commissioner.

Said the O:

“A vote for Cogen is a vote to restore the county's credibility and launch a new era of vision, courage and innovation.”

Be sure to read the whole endorsement.
