‘OPB Politics Now’: Oregon governor’s race tightens, gets national attention

The election is less than seven weeks away, and prognosticators across the nation are expecting a strong night for Democrats.

Christine Drazan break the Republican drought in Salem?

On the latest episode of “OPB Politics Now,” reporters Dirk VanderHart and Lauren Dake discuss the race and more. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.
