Senator Jeff Merkley, a champion of startups and small businesses in Oregon, will be up for re-election in 2014. We have a chance to ensure his success through your efforts this fall.

As many of you know, Senator Merkley wrote the bipartisan CROWDFUND Act to open up online capital-raising for small businesses. It became law last year and the SEC is currently working on the rules. CROWDFUND is going to revolutionize fundraising for early stage startups in markets without large venture capital ecosystems.

And Senator Merkley has been a leader on increasing student access to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) courses and teachers – a vital ingredient to building Oregon's tech workforce in future generations.

Please join us for an afternoon reception with Senator Jeff Merkley and learn more about his support of our startups.

Suggested Contribution Levels:

Event Host $500 - Includes entry for two to host’s reception at 1:30 p.m.

Supporter $250 - Includes entry for one adult
