Mail-in primary ballots must he returned by 8 p.m. May 21. “Ron Saxton is too liberal to unite the Repub lican Party, and Kevin Mannix has a proven track record of losing two statewide elections,” Roberts said in a statement. “I have a proven record of reaching out to all factions of our party." All factions, that is, except for gay Repub licans. The Roberts campaign also launched a homophobic radio ad featuring ultraconserva tive former Oregon House Speaker Lynn Snodgrass. “Saxton is so liberal that the Oregonian report ed that no Democrat will run to the left of him on abortion, assisted suicide and gay rights,” the announcer claims. “Having Ron Saxton as gover nor is no better than having a liberal Democrat.” ♦ ( OFFICE (503) 281-4040 vo ice mail (503) 30 1-4283 e - mail Je w e l2 U @ te le p o rt.co m OCA J udges J udicial C andidates he Oregon C iti zens Alliance is distributing mass e-mails to its support ers warning them about two lesbians running for circuit court judge.
