This year, Oregonians will choose a new Governor. AARP Oregon is offering four virtual town halls for members and stakeholders statewide to make our voices heard. It’s up to all of us to educate the candidates about the issues and concerns of people 50 and older. Learn more and sign up at https://aarp.org/orfuture.
Also - OGA is preparing a 1 page policy paper to share with the three gubernatorial candidates. More soon!
The Faster Internet Oregon speed test campaign is a statewide broadband mapping effort the encourages Oregonians to measure their internet speeds at home or report if they do not have an Internet connection. This campaign will help identify gaps in high-speed Internet service and provide data to ensure that funding decisions on broadband infrastructure are based on an accurate assessment of gaps in connectivity across urban, rural, and Tribal communities statewide. The Faster Internet Oregon site features an easy-to-use speed test and asks a few simple location questions for mapping accuracy. The speed test takes less than one minute to complete and will help ensure equitable distribution of broadband funds to the communities that need it most.
