Marc Delphine is the first openly gay candidate to run for federal office in the history of Oregon. The college and financial planner filed as a candidate for U.S. Senate Monday, seeking the Libertarian Party nomination.
According to Just Out, “Delphine will formally announce the campaign launch in the State Capitol tomorrow [Tuesday] morning, during which he’ll emphasize ‘Principle-Centered Leadership.’ The platform highlights ‘individual liberty, personal responsibility and equal opportunity.’”
Delphine will challenge Democrat Ron Wyden.
