<h4>Our Town: Kaufmann Takes on Staehely in November</h4>

<p><strong>We’re (almost all of us) the descendants of immigrants, </strong>whether they arrived last century or last year.<strong>&nbsp; </strong>In the heart of Oregon farm country, immigrants deserve our respect, and they surely <strong>deserve protection from an out-of-control administration.</strong><br></p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.
