The Oregon Independent Party announced Wednesday that it will be nominating Joel Haugen (R-Scappoose) for Congress in Oregon's 1st Congressional District.

"We support his efforts to try and bring the conversation back to the reasonable middle and encourage all people of goodwill to support his candidacy."

Merkley wraps up Independent Party nomination

By Britten Chase, PolitickerOR.com Reporter

Oregon House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Merkley (D-Portland) received the Oregon Independent Party’s nomination on Thursday morning.

"We are supporting Jeff Merkley because he is the true `independent' in this race," said Linda Williams, state chair of the Independent Party.  "Gordon Smith is very dependent - dependent on the utilities, drug companies, and other corporations for the millions of dollars he is spending on ads denying his record as a Bush Administration rubber stamp.”
