Oregon Democrats and Republicans are locked in battle this year over a number of high profile congressional seats in the state. So why has the Oregon GOP been focusing so much on the tiny Libertarian Party of Oregon lately? On this week’s episode of OPB Politics Now, we talk with Julia Shumway of the Oregon Capital Chronicle about her recent reporting. We discussed Republicans’ mission to clear the ballot of spoiler candidates, and why it might be a longshot. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.
