MANNIX RELEASES SENSITIVE EMAIL ON ERICKSON; CALLS INTO QUESTION ERICKSON’S CREDIBILITY

Salem – Kevin Mannix, candidate for Congress, released today an email from a woman who says Mike Erickson provided funds to a young woman and transported her to an abortion clinic where the young woman, whom Erickson impregnated, had an abortion.

“It is unfortunate that I am the one who has to release this information to the public considering others have known for some time,” said Mannix.

“The email is verified and sheds light on the character of Mike Erickson who claims he is pro-life yet he paid for an abortion and left the woman at a clinic,” said Amy Langdon, campaign manager. “It is critical to share this woman’s story with the voters of CD 5 as they make the decision as to who will be the Republican nominee.”

A letter from Mannix and the email is being mailed to fifth congressional district Republican voters who have not yet returned their ballots. [see attached documents]

(Salem, OR) – Today, Steve Marks, Democratic candidate for Oregon's 5th Congressional District, release the following statement regarding the proposed off-reservation gaming establishment at the Columbia River Gorge:

            Americans are being squeezed at the pump like never before.  The price of oil is approaching $120 a barrel, and Europe’s two biggest oil companies, Royal Dutch Shell and BP, reported record first-quarter profits today.  Gas prices are at record highs in Oregon, where a gallon today costs $3.66, up from $3.42 a month ago and $3.26 a year ago – that’s a 12 percent increase in just one year.  And while the average family's energy costs have gone up $2,000 a year since President Bush took office, average Oregon family incomes have been flat. Record oil prices are contributing to higher energy prices, food prices and a squeeze that is making many middle-class families feel like they are falling further behind.
