My name is Wen Waddell. I am here to make a memorable difference in your lives and our beautiful state. I have views, like yours, that are destined to shake things up. I am engaged, looking forward to that exciting chapter, but have lived my whole life as an openly Bisexual women. I think everyone is beautiful and worth loving. I was not born into any privilege. I am someone with an extensive survival story to tell, perseverance to keep going no matter the challenge. I know what it means to get up every day, work long hours, struggle with tight budgets, empty fridges, and feel like the odds or programs are stacked against you. Getting closed doors, closed lists, less job opportunities, and higher walls to dreams seems to be more common now for Oregonians and it can vary from city to town, as to why. I am here for you Oregon, to reverse years of going in the wrong direction, giving you back some hope and real results.
