 Greetings,

 

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all of my neighbors, friends and family that helped me through the busy campaign process. The support you all provided was invaluable.  I truly could not have run as successful of a campaign without your help.

 

I am very eager to begin tackling the issues and concerns so often mentioned in my conversations with you all in District 17.  It is my goal to maintain an open door policy while here at the Capitol, and I welcome your comments, opinions and concerns on issues that affect you, your family and your way of life.

The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you all informed of the progress I am making here in Salem.  This is a unique way to stay connected with the communities that I serve during the hectic legislative session.  

 

Starting on January 8, 2007, Oregonians have a unique opportunity to view the day to day operations here at the Capitol on the Oregon Channel.  This station provides a live broadcast of the Senate and House Chambers as well as the hearing rooms.  This coverage can be viewed at www.oregonchannel.org

 

In upcoming editions of this newsletter I plan to publish my opinions on bills that my colleagues and I are working on.  Currently there are several issues which I believe will be of interest to all of you.  I am very excited to bring the specifics of these bills to you, and get your feedback on them.

 

 

Thanks for your support,

 

Representative Fred Girod
