Democrats in Oregon had a lot to celebrate in Tuesday’s election, as the party took all statewide races and maintaining its supermajority in the state Legislature. But Oregon Republicans prevailed in a number of hard-fought races, and Cliff Bentz handily won the open 2nd Congressional seat. We talk with political strategist Rebecca Tweed and Cascade Policy Institute research director Eric Fruits to get their takes on the state of the GOP in Oregon.
