" I believe there are two
approaches to representing a
congressional d is tric t” , said
Walsh. "One is to use the
d is tric t as a political base
while becoming involved in
national issues.
The other
is to become a visible leader
within the d is tric t, known to
the people, working with local
o fficials in Washington fo r the
welfare of the d is tr ic t" , he
said.
Walsh said he believes the
fir s t type of representation he
described has existed in the
Third D is tric t fot many years.
" A s United States Con
gressman, 1 w ill change the
approach, making the d is tric t
aixi Oregon my fir s t priority " ,
he said.
"Campaigning in all parts
of the d is tric t since early
January has convinced me that
the city desperately needs the
type of representation I can
and w ill give. It needs that
representation now; net two

Walsh said.
