Interview of the Month:
Michael Jonas - Oregon's 3rd District in the United States House of Representatives
Michael Jonas, JD, MBA (he/him) is a congressional candidate running for Representative Earl Blumenauer’s seat in Oregon’s 3rd District. He is the Founder of Rational Unicorn Legal Services, a community-focused business law firm that is a certified benefit company. He has been a tireless advocate for small businesses, nonprofits, and creatives of every type. In 2023, he was selected as one of Portland Business Journal's 40 under 40 honorees. He was also in 2023, named by the Small Business Administration (SBA) "Small Business Champion of the Year" for the state of Oregon. Michael is committed to creating a better future for everyone in the community. His professional work, his personal life and this campaign are rooted in the values of inclusivity, equality, and progress. Michael's campaign's slogan is "Love. Science. Plans & Action" because he believes that thoughts and prayers, while meaningful, are not enough. And that wishful thinking is great, but it’s not forward-moving by itself. He believes the country needs plans based on research, evidence, and data that lead to intentionally implemented actions.
