I will be visiting the Capitol on May 13th which is “Elks Day at the Capitol”. Would it be possible to meet with you or your staff for 10 minutes that day. I have two spots left: 1:00 or 2:00 in that area. Please advise,

Ginny Van Loo,

Oregon State Elk Assn.,

Hi Ginny,

Thanks for reaching out, and I’d be glad to connect! Let’s plan for 1:00 on May 13th. I’ll make sure either myself or a member of my staff is available to meet with you then.

Could you also send a quick email to rep.cyrusjavadi@oregonlegislature.gov so my office can make sure it’s properly added to the schedule? Looking forward to seeing you at the Capitol for Elks Day.

Disrespectful. Using the most Holy sequence of events to promote your political career. You have reaffirmed my opinion of you.

Well, that’s a new one. For the record, I’m Jewish by heritage and Christian by faith, which means I come by holiday metaphors honestly and in bulk.

Also means I have an abiding respect for tradition, a healthy suspicion of golden calves (and government programs), and a deep theological appreciation for second chances—especially when it comes to legislation.

But thanks for reading.
