Discover why Jeff Merkley is ready to lead.
From the Oregonian:
Merkley raced [quarter-midget cars] as a child, and once owned -- and crashed -- a Harley. He roomed with an impoverished family in Ghana as a teen, hitchhiked across Israel as a young man and went on, as he puts it, to help shut down one of Portland's worst crack alleys.
"I've lived," he says, "a pretty unconventional life."
