In 46 years of public service, Mark Hatfield never lost a political campaign. Despite being campaigned against from the political right and left, the people of Oregon elected and reelected him 11 times. Today, a good portion of Oregon’s infrastructure bears the Hatfield name. This Journal shares that honor, and we believe that to the best of our abilities it should share his courage and conviction. To advocate for things which may not be popular, or even practicable, but can move us forward as a society.
