Former Oregon Governor Barbra Roberts Appears In Life Alert Advertisement

By: Dillon Bergmann

Former Oregon Governor Barbra Roberts appeared recently in an advertisement for the Company “Life-Alert.” Life-Alert is known for their advertisement’s tagline of “Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” and is the leader in elder in-home alert care, and due to Mrs. Robert’s silver age and name recognition among the target market for Life-Alert in Oregon, it was truly a match made in heaven.

Following the advertisement’s premier “who is barbara roberts” searches increased by a factor of 2,400 on Google. We asked longtime Sunset teacher and Oregonian Mrs. Chamberlain on her thoughts on the Former Governor appearing in the advert, to which she asked: “who?” Another Sunset teacher we spoke to asked: “she’s still alive?”
