I am pleased to write this letter in support of Dave Drotzmann for our next state senator. In Oregon, we are still in post-pandemic recovery. We need strong representation from the local level on the Senate floor to address important issues that affect each and every one of us.

Dave Drotzmann has experience in building thriving communities, addressing citizen safety concerns and actively working toward solutions for our unhoused population. He has volunteered his time to better the lives of children and families and served on the Hermiston School District Board to support education. He has built a thriving business and has participated on many boards and in service groups.

Dave continuously shows up for people — all people. His level of insight and knowledge will be the best fit to represent all of Eastern Oregon.

He will work to reduce taxes; increase affordable housing; support economic development; increase affordable trades and educational opportunities for individuals going into the workforce; address youth truancy laws; support addiction and recovery services; and, most of all, support safe, thriving communities. Please stand with me and vote for Dave Drotzmann as our next Oregon state senator.
