THE CANDIDATE
PolitickerOR addresses how hard Greg Matthews is working. From the article:
Matthews (D-Portland) works all night for the Gresham Fire Department before taking advantage of the daylight hours to campaign.
Oregon’s state legislature is a part-time job, but both candidates have spent more time on the campaign trail than most people do at their daily job. At least, that’s how Matthews operates; working all night, campaigning during the day. In the end, the Democrat may take over this moderately-Republican seat.
“You’re walking and you’re exhausted, but you do it,” Matthews said. “You think about how your aunt gave you money, and you know you can’t let her down.”

THE ENDORSEMENTS
The Gresham Outlook endorsed Greg Matthews. The Outlook had many great things to say about Greg Matthews. Read below:
"And that’s where Matthews, a Gresham firefighter and a longtime community volunteer, comes into the picture. Matthews, a 44-year-old Democrat, has deep roots in the community, an unmatched record of involvement and an enviable level of energy. He isn’t quite as fluid yet on the issues as his opponent, but he is learning quickly. His middle-of-the-road ideology — he even admits to voting for George W. Bush in 2004 — is a solid match for his district.
Lim makes a reasonable argument for a final term — and in many respects he has earned it. But if Matthews is ready to serve now, why wait for two years to elect him? Those are two years in which his party will be in power and he can begin to gain knowledge and influence in Salem. Voters shouldn’t delay the inevitable — they should elect Matthews in November."
