It’s official. Oregon has a brand new Working Families Party. Barbara Dudley is a Working Families Party organizer.

[Barbara Dudley]: “We’re gonna be focusing on family wage jobs, on getting living wages paid for all kinds of work in this country, for things like universal and affordable health care, for adequate funding for public education. We want to get public education all through higher education accessible to working class kids again.”

Dudley says the party will be active in the November elections and will hold a founding convention this summer.
