A poll has finally emerged in the heated GOP race for Oregon governor. It shows state Sen. Christine Drazan with a commanding lead. #orpol opb.org/article/2026/0…

Anderson seemed to be the only person that could stand in Stephenson's way as she looks for another four years. opb.org/article/2026/0…
State Sen. Dick Anderson, R-Lincoln City, decided not to file to run for Oregon's Labor Commissioner, despite creating a website for the purpose. (Anderson was hoping for a 1-on-1 race against Commish Christina Stephenson but another person was in the race). #orpol
Don't think I've seen this before. Oregon lawmakers scrambling to figure out what to do on campaign finance this year sent a bill back to committee yesterday. Now they've passed it out of that same committee with zero changes. #orleg
Whoops! Left out that the $365M is for Moda Center renovations designed to keep the Blazers in Portland. #orleg
As a bill to put $365M in state funding continues to move in the Legislature, some notable numbers are emerging. That includes the first estimates for how much will be diverted from the state's general fund in coming budgets. #orleg
Maybe more notable, the total estimated costs of bonding for that money, which could tack on hundreds of millions in costs. #Orleg

Background on the bill, which is wonky: opb.org/article/2026/0…
The Oregon House is debating a bill that would nix some of the tax cuts passed by congress last year. If SB 1507 passes, state Rep. Ed Diehl, who already referred a gas tax hike to voters, says he'll collect signatures to send pieces of it to the ballot. #orleg
One thing Anderson thinks could help him? Democrats' insistence on pushing a gas tax vote from Nov. to May. Since labor commish is nonpartisan, it can be decided in the May election. Anderson thinks more people upset over a gas tax works in his favor. #orpol
Could Oregon have an interesting BOLI race this year? State Sen. Dick Anderson, R-Lincoln City, says he's close to announcing a challenge to Commissioner Christina Stephenson. #orpol opb.org/article/2026/0…
Meanwhile, House Republicans appear to be getting ready to refuse to attend a floor session this afternoon. That would block a first reading of SB 1599 in that chamber. That would push passage to 2/26 (at earliest). #orleg x.com/repgregsmith/s…
This is a time for Republicans to stand up on principle. The voters of Oregon, who signed the initiative petition, expected the vote to be held in November. I think it would be disingenuous to turn our backs on them now.
The Oregon Senate is about to convene and take up SB 1599, the bill to reschedule a public vote on gas tax/transpo fee hikes from Nov. to May The crucial question is whether a weekend of screw-turning has won Dems the votes they need. #orleg Background: opb.org/article/2026/0…
SB 1599 passes 17-13. Sen. Mark Meek was the only Dem against. #orleg
@CHold No one thinks it's passing on any date.
