Jackie Winters, a black female state senator in Oregon, is seeking the Republican nomination to take on Democrat Darlene Hooley in a district that Bush carried 48.5%-47.0% over Gore in 2000. The district includes many rural areas, and Jackie's NRA endorsement will help her get votes from blue-collar Democrats who know that their right to bear arms is under attack from Democrats in Congress. Jackie Winters is the type of common-sense conservative who can defeat Hooley, who is way too liberal for her district. If elected, Jackie Winters would be the first black woman ever elected to Congress as a Republican, and will serve as an example to the millions of black conservatives and moderates who are trapped in a Democrat Party that does not respond to their concerns. God willing, Jackie will win the primary and defeat Hooley in the general election.

*Jackie Winters Ping*

I have already sent a contribution to her campaign, and if she receives enough donations to compete with Democrat incumbent Darlene Hooley, Jackie Winters will take the seat for the GOP and become the first black female Republican elected to Congress. GO, JACKIE, GO!

The NRA endorsement is always huge in a primary, and if she got it there, it must be a clear difference on that issue since they usually stay out of primaries.

Honestly, what are her chances? Can you tell me the history of the district?

Jackie Winters has the potential to be a major celebrity if she wins. FEC reports for the March 31 filing deadline will show how her fundraising is going.
