In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer speak with Dr. Melissa Bird, a congressional candidate in Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, and Bret Cecil, running for Oregon state representative in House District 1. Both candidates share their platforms, focusing on rural issues, healthcare, and housing. Dr. Bird discusses her commitment to representing working families and rural communities, advocating for universal healthcare, term limits, and action against government overreach. Bret Cecil emphasizes bipartisan representation and creative housing solutions. They explore bridging rural-urban divides, effective advocacy, and the need for community-based policies while addressing the challenges of polarization, healthcare access, and homelessness in Oregon.
