Cleland led the U.S. Veterans Administration, now a Cabinet-level department, from 1977 to 1981. He was in the Senate from 1997 to 2003. He will speak at a luncheon on Evans' behalf at the Benson Hotel in Portland before his stop in Salem.

Evans is a former Monmouth mayor who has done two tours of duty in Iraq with the Oregon Air National Guard. He is the Democratic nominee in Senate District 10, which covers South and West Salem, Aumsville, Turner, Monmouth and Independence.
