A New Year, A New Dawn 🎶 Music • Community • Momentum for Oregon Join us on Saturday, January 24, 2026, for an evening of live blues, community, and support for Dawn Rasmussen, candidate for Congress in Oregon’s 2nd District. This is a chance to come together at the start of the year — to enjoy great music, connect with friends old and new, and support a campaign rooted in cooperation, problem-solving, and bringing Oregon’s communities together. 🎸 Live Blues Performances By Award Winning acts and musicians Rae Gordon Band, featuring Johnny Wheels (of Johnny Wheels and the Swamp Donkeys) and Sonny Hess, well-known guitarist, singer, and owner of the Blue Diamond. PLUS other special guests including Lisa Mann! 🍽️ Appetizers provided 🍷 Food and drinks available for purchase (no-host) 🎁 Silent auction featuring unique, experience-based items donated by supporters 💃 Dance floor open all evening Why this race matters — even if you don’t live in CD2: Oregon’s communities are connected. Decisions about healthcare, education, land use, jobs, water, wildfire, and infrastructure don’t stop at district lines. When rural Oregon has a strong, cooperative voice in Congress, the entire state benefits. Dawn is running to be that partner — steady, practical, and ready to work across communities to get things done. 🎟️ Tickets are $15 Prepay or pay at the door. 📍 Mekong Bistro 8200 NE Siskiyou St, Portland, OR 97220 🕓 4:00 – 8:00 pm 🎥 Be sure to watch the short video from Dawn explaining why support from across Oregon matters so much in this race. https://www.tiktok.com/@dawn.../video/7596398369967246606...
