Smith Calls for Bipartisan Change in First Ad of Campaign

For more than a year my political opponents in Oregon and across the nation have attacked my record and attacked me personally - the attacks have been false, unfair and personal. Now it's my turn to begin to set the record straight and focus on my goal of bringing positive bipartisan change to Washington, D.C. My opponents have pledged to do whatever it takes to win this election - but rest assured I don't intend to sit back and let them distort my record. At a time when we face a crisis in health care and our economy - and the continuing threat of terrorism - there's too much partisanship and not enough leadership in Washington, D.C.

As your Senator, I've shown a better way - a different way. Republican-Democrat, rural-urban, left-right, red-blue, heck even Smith and Wyden, I've reached across the aisle to find common ground for you and for Oregon. Now, more than I ever, I believe we need to put an end to needless partisan fighting and find common ground for the change we need. It's why I am so proud to have bipartisan endorsements not only from Republicans like former Governor Vic Atiyeh and former Senator Mark Hatfield but respected Democrats as well, like former Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse and State Senator Avel Gordly. Today I ask you to join our team and join the cause of bringing bipartisan change to Washington, D.C. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent, I would be honored to have your vote and ask for your support. Join us online at www.gordonsmith.com.
Thank you.
Warm regards,
Gordon
