Lindsay attracts more support |
HILLSBORO, Ore – Support for Shawn Lindsay’s campaign for state Representative grew even more last week with important endorsements from the Oregon Business Association (OBA) as well as the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association and Oregon Police Chiefs for Safer Communities.
“The more we visit with people and the more they hear our message of strengthening Oregon’s economy and keeping families in our community safe, the more support we draw,” Lindsay said.
“The OBA PAC strives to support independently-minded individuals that are balanced in their approach to solutions for Oregon and have a clear vision to help grow the state’s economy,” the organization noted in a news release announcing endorsed candidates.
The three new endorsements add to an already broad and diverse base of support Lindsay has drawn.
Lindsay has already picked up support from several key local leaders including Hillsboro Mayor Jerry Willey; Hillsboro School District Chair Carolyn Ortman; Andy Duyck, Chair-elect of the Washington County Board of Commissioners; Former Hillsboro Police Chief Lila Ashenbrenner; and, Washington County Sheriff Rob Gordon.
The Greater Hillsboro Area Chamber of Commerce, Oregon Farm Bureau and several other trade associations have also endorsed Lindsay.
Lindsay, 37, is an attorney with the Lane Powell law firm in Portland where he specializes in business and intellectual property work. A fourth generation Oregonian, Lindsay and his wife live in Hillsboro with their three daughters. He is running for the seat being vacated by state Representative David Edwards (D-Hillsboro). Lindsay has served on the Hillsboro School District Curriculum Committee and as a member of the Oregon State Bar House of Delegates. On a pro bono basis, he serves as general counsel to Special Olympics Oregon.
