3. My favorite Senator

Soon after moving from California to Oregon, we attended a town hall he hosted in our town.

Early this year, we attended two town halls the same week: one in our town, one a couple of counties south.

Despite not giving him our names and addresses at the second town hall, he had his staff research our names and address in order to send us a hand-written thank-you note.

This is a marked difference from California, where to see a Senator you have to be carrying a piece of paper that contains the words "Pay to the order of..."
