COVID-19 Updates and Resources
Dear Neighbors,
In this uncertain time, our team is committed to doing our part to flatten the curve and slow down the spread of the novel coronavirus as advised by the Oregon Health Authority.
This has required changes in practices, from suspending door-knocking to postponing house parties.
You can read more about what we are doing with that from campaign staff below.
To start, here are some links with up-to-date information about this coronavirus:

A Note from Campaign Staff:
It has only become more apparent that we need strong leaders like Deb who care about the well-being of others, and we need your help spreading that message in ways that don’t involve person-to-person contact! As always, we are so grateful for the support of our volunteers and we will need you to keep this momentum going.
First, we are switching completely from canvassing to phone banking. We’ll host a series of times where we all phone bank together remotely. We’ll have a script, a training, and some words from Deb beforehand—just like at any other event. More info about specific times will be posted very soon. If you would still like to call on your own and can’t make our event times, please email Team@DebPattersonOR.org.
We will also be doing virtual door-knocking! If you’re willing to reach out to your personal circles and neighbors in the district via social media and/or texting, let us know at Team@DebPattersonOR.org and we’ll provide you with more details.
We’ll also be starting to distribute lawn signs soon, so please contact Maddie@DebPattersonOR.org if you haven’t already let us know you would like one.
Lastly, we’ll be hosting a number of small virtual house parties throughout the next few weeks. If you’re interested in helping host a house party via video chat, contact Malea@DebPattersonOR.org for more details.
Let’s continue to check in on each other and do our parts to keep our community safe. Stay tuned for more information as the situation develops.
Gratefully,
Malea Kirkland, Campaign Manager
Maddie Dohrer, Field Director
