Party control has gone back and forth over the past years between the mainstream and the ultra right wing. The "Oregon Citizens Alliance" is the conservative organization that has gaini?.d powi:?.r at. t.hP. 1oc.o31 1AvP-l~- Whi1e OCA e.ndorse.mr?.t'lt. is often key to success in winning the primary, it can also be the kiss of death in the general election , The State Rouse of Representatives is currently controlled Qy the Republicans 32-28. The Senate is controlled by the Democrats 16-14, It is commonly believed th;;it the Republicans will gain control of the Senate in November, (for the first time in 40 years) and will keep control of the House. The Republican leader of the State Senate is Gordon Smith. He is a 42 year old millionaire CEO of one of America's largest frozen food companies. smith is a likely senate candidate if Hatfield does not run. He will be the emcee at the Denny Smith event in Portlanct. GOVERNOR'S RACE: The Democrat nominee is John Kitzhaber, former President of the Ore~on State Senate, and author of the Oregon health plan. There will also be two independent candidates on the ballot. Conventional wisdom is that Denny is probably about 10-15 points behind right now. All the wounds have not been healed from a bitter primary race with Craig Berkman, and some moderate Republ.icans believe that Denny is too conservative, and too much of a loose cannon. While the race is winnabl~, D~nny :is c1?.rt.si i n1 y th~ underdog. The race has not received much news during the summer, as the primaries arQ in May. Labor Day is the traditional time when the voters and the media start paying more attention to the race, so you arc Qrriving ot the right time. Denny's top issues are cutting the budget, building more prisons, and saying it's time for a new direction after eight years of liberal Democ~at governors. CONGRESSIO~AL SEATS: There are three competitive races out ot the five seats, Democrat incumbents Peter DeFazio and Ron Wyden both represent strong Democrat discricts and nave very weak opponents .

It is represented t>y one term Democrat Elizabeth Furse. (She defeated ·1·ony Meeker) Her opponent is businessman Bill Witt. He is an attractive candidate, but is perceived as being very closely tied to the OCA. He will be attending the Smith luncheon, and hopes to get a picture with you. The 5th District is the Willamette Valley. It is an open race between Democrat State Senator Catherine Weber, and Republican State Senator Jim Bunn. This is probably a toss-up, al though Bunn's ties the OCA1 which brought about his primary victory, are hurting him in the general.

Larsen, BA Political Science College of Arts and Sciences March 12, 2018 Faculty Mentors: John Gruhl, PhD, Political Science 1 Abstract This project sought to analyze how sexual assault in the political sphere is perceived and treated in contemporary society in the United States of America. The thesis analyzed eight cases of sexual misconduct, including six from the past thirty years. In each case, the reaction of party and social leaders, of the politician’s constituents and of the politician himself were looked at, as well as the consequences the politician faced. The results were then analyzed side-by-side to discover similarities and differences between ho cases of sexual assault allegations were treated and in terms of what happened to the politician after the allegations came out.

  • Darlene Kay Hooley 1939–
    ★ current members ★ Darlene Kay Hooley 1939– united states representative democrat from oregon 1997– A former Oregon public schoolteacher, Darlene Hooley began a long climb in state politics in the 1970s, inspired initially by defective equipment at a local playground. Hooley served in city, county, and state government for 20 years before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996. During her tenure in Congress, Representative Hooley has focused on identity theft and data security, education funding, affordable health care and prescription drug coverage, Image courtesy of the Member the National Guard, and veterans' health care. Darlene Olson was born on April 4, 1939, in Williston, North Dakota, to Clarence Alvin Olson and Alyce Rogers Olson. When she was eight years old, her family moved to Salem, Oregon. Darlene Olson earned a B.S. in education from Oregon State University in 1961, and pursued postgraduate work at Oregon State University and Portland State University from 1963 until 1965. She also taught reading, music, and physical education in Oregon. Darlene Olson married John Hooley, a fellow teacher, and they raised two children, Chad and Erin, before they divorced in 1997. The lack of city response to playground equipment maintenance issues at a local public park, where her son had fallen off a swing onto the asphalt, convinced Hooley to enter politics. In 1976, she was the first woman elected to the West Linn city council. Four years later, she earned a spot in the state house of representatives, where she served until 1987. In the legislature, she chaired the environmental and energy committees where she helped pass energy conservation measures, recycling legislation, and a rewrite of land use planning laws.

Title: The United States Election System: How an Outdated Electoral Structure has led to Political Polarization in the United States. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Christopher Nichols Political Polarization in the United States is at a level higher today than at any point in the past few decades. Possible causes of this rise in polarization have been provided from various sources, including explanations such as mass media and income inequality. Through historical analysis and a wide literature review, this thesis explores a major factor in political polarization, the United States election system. The thesis argues that the election system in the United States exacerbates the intensely polarized political climate of the modern day United States in three main ways: the electoral college, which produces the persisting two party system, primary elections, which reinforce extreme candidate views, and districting, which tends to increase politically uniform districts and lead candidates to position themselves at the poles rather than in the center. The thesis concludes that the only way to eliminate political polarization stemming from all of these sources would be to implement a unique proportional representation system for the United States.
