COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Primaries from A1 ballot drop sites will open. Th ere are a number of races Cottage Grove area residents will be eligible to vote in which have national and regional implications, including presidential pri- maries for both the Demo- cratic and Republican can- didates for president, U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. Nationally, Sen. Jeff Merkley is seeking re-elec- tion, as is Oregon’s 4th Dis- trict Rep. Peter DeFazio.

In 2019, DeFazio was elected to the position of Chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Coast Guard, highways and transit, water resources, railroads, aviation and eco- nomic development.

While each state is build- ing a state-specifi c plan, our states have agreed to the fol- lowing principles as we build out a West Coast framework: Our residents’ health comes fi rst. As home to one in six Americans and gateway to the rest of the world, the West Coast has an outsized stake in controlling and ulti- mately defeating COVID-19. Health outcomes and sci- ence — not politics — will guide these decisions. Modi- fi cations to our states’ stay at home orders must be made only measure which voters must consider in May is Measure 20-306.

Th is eff ort will be guided by data. We need to see a de- cline in the rate of spread of the virus before large-scale reopening, and we will be working in coordination to identify the best metrics to guide this. Our states will only be ef- fective by working together. Each state will work with its local leaders and communi- APRIL 16, 2020 | 7A Nelson Ijih (R) Doyle Canning (D) Alek Skarlatos (R) Position 1 Josephine H.

Th rough quick and deci- sive action, each of our states has made signifi cant prog- ress in fl attening the curve and slowing the spread of COVID-19 among the broader public. Now, our public health leaders will focus on four goals that will be critical for controlling the virus in the future: Protecting vulnerable pop- ulations at risk for severe dis- ease if infected. Th is includes a concerted eff ort to prevent and fi ght outbreaks in nurs- ing homes and other long- term care facilities.

Protecting the general pub- lic by ensuring any successful lift ing of interventions in- cludes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating. Th e states will work to- gether to share best practic- es. COVID-19 doesn’t follow state or national boundaries. It will take every level of gov- ernment, working together, and a full picture of what’s happening on the ground. In the coming days the governors, their staff and health offi cials will continue conversations about this re- gional path to recovery.
