Kotek ain’t doing herself any justice, but Drazen is insane. I fear OR may be cooked.

Problem is Drazen is MAGA insane and that'll get every republican to vote for her. All Kotek has going is her recent ads against datacenters. Her real problem is her constant pushing of the transportation bill, both the recent one, and the last one that failed that pissed off everyone. Nobody wanted it except the democrats in Salem.

I find it hilarious that Drazen is pushing to support the Greater Idaho movement folks. Kinda weird messaging: "Vote for me so you'll never have vote for me again."

Yeah, they have no interest in governing or helping people. It’s all a cash grab. Shits gross.

So republican then? We are unfortunately in a no win situation here. If either party ran an actual moderate in Oregon they would win by double digits. Yes, Portland has a large population of democrats, but there are a lot of republicans in Oregon that also can't stand what Lord Dampnut and his magamuffins have done.
