Endorsing Gabe

Leaders throughout our communities are endorsing Gabe Shepherd for Benton County Commissioner.

Gabe Shepherd with former U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio

I support Gabe Shepherd for Benton County Commissioner.

I founded the Progressive Americans for Democracy PAC to support a new generation of progressive Democrats who have the principle, grit, and determination to change our communities for the better. Gabe is definitely one of those Democrats. Gabe understands that progress takes work, and he's willing to put in the work. As a Corvallis City Councilor and Chair of the Benton County Democrats, Gabe is constantly working on ways to help people, improve lives, and open government. Gabe understands the need and urgency for climate action, and his commitment to hold annual town halls across Benton County continues an Oregon tradition of transparent, inclusive government. Gabe is the right person for Benton County.

—Former Congressman Peter DeFazio
