How do we make OR-2 more Democratic without harming OR-4(DeFazio-D) and OR-5(Schrader-D)?

The Democratic Party in Oregon is very popular, in part because here our state party has fully and enthusiastically embraced things like internet freedom, free speech/opposition to censorship, and marijuana legalization.



Beyond that, though, those are Walden's own constituents who are complaining in the town hall. I don't think DeFazio or Schrader's voters are all going to move out to John Day.
