Spanish translation of Voters Pamphlet

The Secretary of State has started this year to provide translation of the Voter Pamphlet into Spanish and other languages used by Oregon voters. This is a significant advancement. For this first election (November 2024), they have provided complete Spanish translation for the 5 state ballot measures. Translation for candidates and for local ballot measures this election has largely not been provided, but hopefully will be in the future.

Problems with your homeowners’ insurance?

Many in our county, especially in the rural areas, have experienced major changes in their home insurance policies due to wildfire risk – doubling or tripling of rates, or in some cases cancellation of coverage. Albert Nance brought this up as an area of concern in his race last spring for county commissioner. Rep. Maxine Dexter, our CD3 democratic candidate, said at a meeting with HRCD leaders recently that she’s planning to address this problem when she is elected to Congress in November. If you or an acquaintance in the county have run into such a problem with your home insurance provider, Maxine would like to hear from you. Contact her at maxine@maxinefororegon.com.
