About this event
What to expect.
Stop by the Veto booth at the largest spring festival on Oregon's North Coast. Alex will be on the ground all afternoon — no podium, no press handler, just direct conversation with anyone who shows up.
Bring questions. Bring skepticism. Coastal towns get talked about in Salem and Washington but rarely talked to. We're flipping that.
