Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce
The Week of November 8th, 2022
Every time you feel yourself being pulled into other people's drama, repeat these words, "Not my circus, not my monkeys".
The Gresham Area Chamber did not endorse a candidate in the governor's race. However, the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce endorsed Christine Drazan. The Village Retirement Center is just one of the many places Drazan has visited in East County.
