There are 99 chambers throughout the country. Rep. Jen Kiggans, a vulnerable Republican from Virginia, also praised the speaker. “If we had the vote today in our conference, he would not be speaker today. He's already a lame duck, he can't raise money, everyone knows it,” Greene claimed.

The winner will face encumbent Rep. Kevin Mannix, R-Keizer, in the November general election. Mannix returned to the Oregon Legislature last year after defeating Democrat Ramiro Navarro Jr. He previously served in the House and Oregon Senate as a Democrat and Republican from 1989 through 2000. He does not have a Republican challenger in the primary. Rep. Travis Nelson, D-Portland, has a primary challenge from Christine Nair, a senior learning and leadership specialist for Nordstrom.

The House passed a long-stalled foreign aid package on Saturday that gives funding to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, with a majority of lawmakers backing money for American allies across the globe.

Rep. Kevin Mannix, R-Salem, has been a fixture of Oregon politics for decades, serving in the state House and Senate as both a Democrat and Republican in the 1990s. Most incumbents are running again, and most races are in seats that are reliably Democratic or Republican. The two parties are targeting a handful of swing swing seats, four held by Republicans and five held by Democrats, while other competitive races could arise as the November election draws closer. A state government trifecta is a term that describes single-party government, when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature in a state government. This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Oregon.
Incumbents running in new districts
"Every candidate and every politician says that large campaign contributions don't affect their votes nor change their behavior as a public official," he said. "My time working in politics and in the Capitol has shown me otherwise." This is part of a series of stories on the candidates running in the May 21 primary election.
The fate of a measure is determined during work sessions, when the committee debates and votes on measures. The committee may choose from several options when dealing with a measure. If they decide to report a measure out of committee, they may attach a recommendation to the body of do pass, do pass with amendments, or no recommendation. A committee may also choose to table a piece of legislation, thereby postponing its consideration.

Small business owner John Masterman and former Damascus City Councilor Andrew Morrison are running in the Republican primary. The Oregon House of Representatives is the lower house of the Oregon Legislative Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Oregon. One member is elected to each of the 60 house districts. Recognized minor parties (as defined in this article) are not permitted to participate in primary elections and instead must select candidates by nominating convention.
Senators serve six-year terms with staggered elections. Americans in the United States’s six territories do not have senators. Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed new state legislative maps into law on September 27, 2021. The maps were approved by the Oregon House of Representatives, 31-18, and approved in the Oregon State Senate 18-11.[15] These maps took effect for Oregon’s 2022 legislative elections. The Oregon House of Representatives was one of 88 state legislative chambers holding elections in 2022.
Rep. E. Werner Rescke, R-Malin, will face retired executive chef James Williamson of Klamath Falls in the general election in the 55th House District in Deschutes and Klamath counties. Rep. Courtney Neron, D-Wilsonville, will square off against Republican tow truck salesman Jason Fields in the 26th House District in Clackamas, Washington and Yamhill counties. With Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Portland, running for Congress, the 33rd House District in north Portland is an open race. Surgeon Brian Duty, attorney Pete Grabiel and Oregon Change Clinic founder Shannon Jones Isadore are running in the Democratic primary. The winner will face either retired accountant Stan Baumhofer or forest consultant Dick Courter in November.
Committee members consider the testimony of Oregon citizens; lobbyists; and business, education, and government agency representatives during public hearings on a measure. The number of public hearings held on a measure depends on the complexity of the issue. An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the political party of a group of representatives who notably voted “no” on new aid for Israel. While all Democrats voted in favor of aid to Ukraine and all but Ms. Tlaib supported funding to Taiwan, 37 left-leaning Democrats defected to vote against the Israel aid bill. They said before the vote that they opposed unfettered aid to Israel that could be used in its offensive in Gaza. The opposition to the Israel aid represented a minority of Democrats, but reflected the deep resistance to unconditional aid and the divisions in the party on Gaza.
