Campaign Update April 2026

Greetings Friends and Supporters! The May 19 Oregon primary is just around the corner and I am in the race for the Oregon State Legislature once again. If you believe in making health care more affordable and accessible to all, bringing down energy and housing costs, addressing climate change, creating jobs, and investing in our smaller towns and rural areas, I am asking for your vote and your support.

Every election matters with decisions large and small on the ballot, and this May is a chance to make your voice heard and help my campaign build momentum for the fall election. As the election nears, I wanted to let you know about some upcoming candidate forums I will participating in, election deadlines, and opportunities to get involved:

1) Tuesday, April 21, 6:30 pm - HD 11 and SD 6 Election Forum cosponsored by the League of Women Voters of Linn County and the Lebanon Rotary Club at the First United Methodist Church, 1890 S. 2nd St, Lebanon, Oregon

2) Tuesday, April 28, 6:00 pm - HD 11 and SD 6 Candidate Forum with the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce at the River Center, 3000 S. Santiam Hwy, Lebanon, Oregon

3) Tuesday, April 28 - Deadline to change or update your voter registration. If you want to vote for me this May, you have to be registered as a Democrat. Check or update your voter registration at www.oregonvotes.gov.

As the campaign heats up, I will be setting up opportunities to volunteer. If you are interested in any of the following, please email or call at the number below: tabling at events, phone banking voters, knocking on doors, writing letters to the editor, distributing and putting up yard signs. Also, be sure to follow and share my campaign Facebook page. 

And if you'd like to contribute financially to my campaign, find details on how to send a check or make a secure online donation at my donation page. 

I'll be sending monthly campaign updates throughout the year, but you can always check my website at www.ruralindependent.com for breaking news and other campaign information. 

Thanks for your support, 

Ivan Maluski
