Sean Cruz confirms Oregon Senate plans

The rumors that I will stand for election to Senate District 23, currently held by Senator Avel Gordly, in the coming election cycle are correct.

I will file for the office after Senator Gordly returns from her trip to Ghana in early September.

There will be a celebration to mark the event (details TBA.)

I will continue to serve as Senator Gordly’s Chief of Staff through the interim, as we prepare for the February 2008 Special Session, and through the end of her term.

I am deeply moved by the many voices of support and encouragement I am receiving, and I will do my best to honor your trust as we both move Oregon forward and end the war in Iraq.

Mr. Cruz,
I read your declaration of candidacy a few days ago and am glad to have found your page here. Aside from the insight and clear-vision that I would expect anyone associated with Senator Gordly to gain (my brief meeting with her last winter was a pivotal moment for me) I like what I see here, and what you have to say so far, and how you say it. Good luck in the race. If you would be interested in meeting with, and speaking to students at PCC Cascade, or at PSU, I would love to help facilitate that.
