OBRA,
I want to thank you all again for the support you have shown me in the past few weeks in my campaign to become your next Multnomah County District Attorney.
I have had several questions about how to make online contributions to my campaign. I am happy to report that the online function is now operable. All you have to do is go to www.RodUnderhillforDA.com then click on the "Contribute" icon near the top of the page. On my website you will also find a partial list of my Supporters and you can learn about my positions on some of the important issues that impact our community.
As the Oregonian pointed out a few days ago, "The contest to replace the retiring Multnomah County district attorney may be the most important local election race in Oregon next year." I look forward to that challenge and to earning your support and your vote.
Thank you again,
Rod Underhill
***Oregon law provides a tax credit of $50 for individuals and $100 for joint filers for making a political contribution.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Rod Underhill for Multnomah County District Attorney (a message from Rod)
Everyone,
Thanks so much for your kind words and generous support. It is particularly meaningful to me to have it coming from the OBRA community, a group I am proud to be a part of. As an OBRA member and avid bike commuter, I'm particularly sensitive to the broad range of issues that impact our safety as well as the liveability of our community.
Please visit my website www.rodunderhillforda.com where you will learn more about my record, my priorities and my vision for the District Attorney's Office. You can also click on the "Contribute" button if you wish to make a campaign contribution. Finally, please visit and "like" my Facebook page at Rod Underhill for Multnomah County District Attorney.
As my campaign to become Multnomah County's next District Attorney progresses, I look forward to seeing you at the races and to having an opportunity to speak with you about the issues that matter most to you and your families.
Again, I am grateful for your support.
Rod

Let me lead off by the legal disclaimer: as an organization we cannot
support candidates as we are a 501(c)3 organization.
That said- I am super stoked. I am personally making a donation to
Rod's campaign. (Rod- sorry about the lateness of the check) :P
In the legal community Rod is extremely well respected. He is known
for his fairness and professionalism. Not only do other District
Attorneys respect him- so does the defense bar. That speaks volumes.
