For the record, Jefferson Smith lives east of 82nd Avenue and left behind a corporate legal career to work for peanuts as a non-profit director. Hales is soliciting big checks from national corporations. Brady receives donations from out-of-state special interest groups. Smith is a champion of the working class and only accepts contributions from local citizens.

Someone's on the Jefferson Smith campaign.

@DamosA doesn't make the content of their comment any less accurate. I have worked with Jefferson in Salem while doing some volunteer lobbying for several local non-profits. He definitely has my vote for mayor.

Does DamosA prefer leaders who are influenced by out of state interests corporate or otherwise? If there is money, follow it.
