The Deschutes Democrats, with Oregon Senate Candidate Geri Hauser and other prominent Democrats say they chose the Bethlehem Inn to make a statement about their dedication to the homeless and hungry and also to be a contrast to the Republican's plans for a big, expensive fundraising event happening this weekend.
Hauser says she's encouraged by the support she's gotten from the community: "I was really surprised to see some recent polling that showed me within striking distance of Tim Knopp, even though he's spent up to $200,000 in the primary, and we're just getting our name out in the community."
Hauser and the Deschutes Democrats will be at the Bethlehem Inn at 4:30 Friday serving the meals, and the event is open to everyone.
The Oregon Reagan PAC is hosting Karl Rove at public and private fundraisers on Saturday.
