GDAH Ep71 - Albert Lee for Congress

Go Dig a Hole

Albert Lee is running for congress in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District, which is the most diverse of Oregon’s 5 districts, and has the highest population density. Oregon’s 3rd District encomasses urban, suburban, and rural communities ranging from Portland’s industrial inner east and north sides to the communities on the shoulders of Mt. Hood. The incumbent congressional representative is Earl Blumenauer, a democrat who has served since 1996, when Ron Wyden was elected to the Senate. Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District is ranked as the second most democratic-leaning district in the country, behind Washington’s 7th District, up in Seattle. Albert Lee offers a bold alternative to the incrementalist, concessionary leadership that has allowed inequality and disenfranchisement to worsen in the area. He also offers a different approach to serving Oregon that is, by any metric, a better representation of the people who live in the district. He’s a veteran, a person of color, and his personal experiences have shaped his vision for leadership, and advocacy for housing and support for victims of domestic violence.
