Oregon Farm Bureau Endorses Andre Wang
Andre Wang, Republican candidate for Oregon House District 50, received the Oregon Farm Bureau’s endorsement in recognition of his “outreach and understanding of the issues important to Oregon’s family farmers and ranchers and rural communities,” according to Barry Bushue, OFB president.
Wang welcomes the endorsement, particularly for his district, which blends urban, suburban and rural areas. “Too often, rural and agricultural concerns are overshadowed by ‘Portland’ issues,” Wang says.
Agriculture makes up more than 10 percent of Oregon’s job market, according to a 2008 study by Oregon State University. “As we work toward Oregon’s job-market recovery, we can’t ignore this valuable segment of our state’s economy,” Wang explains. “I look forward to being an advocate for Oregon’s agricultural issues in the legislature.”
