Bo for congress 2026
@bo2026.bsky.social
My name is Boris "Bo" Wiedenfeld-Needham and I am running against Val Hoyle in next year's primary for the US House. I am a progressive small-business owner, and I want to see a Democratic party that people actually WANT to vote for.
I hope you will join me at tomorrow's No Kings 2.0 protest in Eugene, or wherever is closest to you. If you are in Eugene, I will be manning the 50501 info table. I might even have some bumper stickers for you. Trump said he heard that "almost no-one will show up. We'll see about that!

... but unfortunately, that is not a reality (yet). Expenses are racking up. For example the federal election compliance alone costs about $600 a month. Please give what you can, so we can keep bringing the fight. All of us are volunteering our time. donation.c-esystems.com/campaign/bof...

What's scarier to the establishment Democrats than a true progressive challenger? How about TWO of them.? It was such a pleasure to meet with Melissa Bird. We truly believe that together, we can make a bigger impact than alone.

Two true progressives, one Democrat and one Green, walk into a coffee shop... and have coffee. Obviously, we don't agree on every little thing and our chosen paths are different, but I would say that we agree on the vast majority of major issues. Lots of respect for Justin.
