TOP STORY: My Plans for 2012
Hello Friends,
It seems like the 2011 Legislative Session just ended, but it has already been a month!
I know you’re concerned about the future of Oregon and the future of the country; I’m also confident you’re committed to my re-election, and I need your continued support.
A strong grassroots organization, countless volunteer hours, and broad financial support made our last victory possible. It also made a number of important achievements possible ranging from reforming higher education in Oregon, to continued investment in the innovation economy.
I’m pleased to have been re-elected by my caucus as the Democratic Whip and honored to have been appointed to the budget writing Ways and Means Committee for the first time.
There is still much work that needs to be done and I’m gearing up for the 2012 legislative session and campaign.
As a member of the Redistricting Committee this year I played a role in the first successful redistricting process in decades, and saw firsthand how districts around the state change. Our district 27 is no exception, and I’m looking forward to meeting the new constituents I aim to represent after the 2012 elections.
Building an early and strong foundation for our 2012 re-election bid is essential, and given the current politically charged atmosphere, now is the time to start. We need your help as we look to continue the important work of restoring integrity and accountability, making our communities safer and cultivating economic growth for the long run.
I’m grateful for your past support. Your continued involvement is equally critical as we look to 2012.

Thank you,
Tobias

What will Oregon look like in ten years?
What kind of state will our children inherit from us?
Can we honor Oregon's heritage and traditions while readying ourselves for the future?
For me, answering those questions today means that Oregon will be an even better place to live tomorrow.
I try to approach my job as your State Representative by thinking about the long run, putting long-term priorities over short-term political gain. I want to choose innovation and collaboration rather than obstruction.
I appreciate the support and direction you've given me and hope to be able to continue to work for you.
