Campaign site
2012
On his 2012 campaign site, Jenson outlines his campaign themes:
- "I started my career as a high school teacher and retired thirty years later as a college professor, but I still spend my days educating those in Salem about what our district needs and how Eastern Oregon is different from the Westside. I’ve been able to protect our vital infrastructure, boost our agricultural base and address the needs of our communities. Trusted, Effective, Experienced Leadership is what Eastern Oregon needs in Salem, especially in these trying times. I hope I can count on your vote."
