Walker and Forrest: Soda Lovers Stick Together

Newspapers around the Northwest have picked up a recent AP story about Oregon Democratic Senator Vicki Walker accepting $2000 in campaign contributions from the Oregon Soft Drink Association and now watering down bills in the Senate that would have banned soda sales from Oregon schools. The full story is here.

Walker is amongst those listed in the campaign materials of Eric Forrest as an endorser of his campaign. Though Nadia Sindi has worked closely with the Democratic party for years, Democratic Senator Walker chose to endorse the Republican and soda salesman Eric Forrest in this non-partisan race (see entry on "The Other Candidates"). It is hard to imagine what Walker and Forrest have in common other than that both have a sweet tooth and appreciate the money that comes to them from children's' love of sugary drinks.

This is the sort of mess that Nadia Sindi aims to avoid when Integrity is identified as one of her three highest values.
