Dear Voters;

Why vote for Richard Koopmans? Koopmans is a delivery driver, who wants to deliver quality government to the Rogue Valley.

Born in Illinois; LINCOLNISH.

Educated in Southern California.

Served in the United States Army.

The Koopmans are new to the valley, we've only been here 23 years.

I have a great job, a fantastic family, a beautiful place to live. Why would anyone want to leave this for Salem? Because no one running for office seems to have the ability to represent the common person. I believe we need someone who will stand up to the political parties, special interest groups and lobbyists, someone who will represent the people.

I'm running against the politics of hate, fear and greed and running on the politics of hope, courage and prosperity for all! Not just the millionaires living on the Rogue River, but also the people on the highway with the cardboard sign that says "Any little bit helps, God Bless." and everyone in between.

I believe Woman's rights, Human rights and Minority rights are under attack by the Radical Right! We need to send a warrior to Salem and that warrior is Richard Koopmans!
