My politics is whatever this is.

@LillianBelle2 I think it will end up being like 52-44 or something. I ultimately think a lot of potentially getable voters for Drazan will feel polarized and ultimately vote for Kotek or leave it blank due to polarization. She'll probably win by half as much as Merkley if I had to guess.

There isn’t a world where Kotek cracks 55 percent of the vote

@r0berto_mid_5 They definitely are conservative, but they’ve never been particularly Hitlerite. Rejecting George Wallace in 1968 was probably the biggest indicator of that- 😭

Hitler central over here wtf

@TPBlue4 @taradublinrocks @ChristineDrazan This is a governor's race. This is between two candidates competing to be our state's executive. It has nothing to do with Trump.

Higher gas prices impacts every state. High food prices impacts every state. Cutting Medicaid impacts every state. Cutting snap impacts very state. How do YOU think states are addressing these shortfalls? What are YOUR solutions? To give us the people who gave us grandpa crazy? 😆 NO. It has everything to do with Trump.

This campaign is a referendum on Tina Kotek's failed leadership. Oregon can't afford four more years of higher taxes, rising homelessness, and job-killing government regulations. I'm running to make our state more affordable for every family who calls it home. That's why we're going to win.

@IrishPatri0t2 Sorry to hear.

Looking for 21,000 friends...

@Nebraskademsoc This is not central Oregon, sir.

Central Oregon is really hard to do 100k districts 😭

@taradublinrocks @ChristineDrazan What does this have to do with Trump? Why do all of you people shy away from the responsibility of good local governance?

@ChristineDrazan Trump raped children & you don't care Trump cut SNAP in Oregon during the shutdown & you don't care Trump is defrauding millions of Americans & you don't care YOU ARE TRUMP, Trump is you Oregonians will never vote for MAGA Governor who's protecting a pedo rapist, KKKristine

@MericaCulture Some of my favorites, albeit I am probably biased as an Oregonian!

Today in American History: 1804 The Lewis and Clark Expedition (Corps of Discovery) officially began as the group departed from St. Charles, Missouri, to explore the American West. Over the next 2.5 years they'll traverse more than 8,000 miles.

Morning on the Columbia.

@MichaelShinkar @Nebraskademsoc A lot of the outlying areas you see here that are light blue were light red until the Trump era. A lot of GOP reps who had never really faced much trouble being reelected were upset in 2018. Those areas will likely still be close between Drazan/Kotek, though.

@Nebraskademsoc Really just speaks to the failures of my party to appeal whatsoever to socially moderate suburbanites

Portland metro is amazingly blue

Today the U.S. national debt surpassed $39 Trillion, inflation is rising, gas is over $4.50, and we are in another foreign war. Nothing changed. Literally nothing.

Less than 5% of US residents in 1970 were immigrants. Today the number is officially ~16%. But if Greg Bovino is accurate, the number is closer to 30%

@AdmiralChickyFA Merkley will likely lose Marion County this go around, but otherwise agree.

Senate county prediction bc why the hell not? Translates to 51R-49D

@jack_keefe58270 @omgTrex22 @ModRightPatriot You have to look at ad spending. The GOP candidates for senate are sacrificial lambs. The Governors race is the only one that could become even remotely competitive & the only one local Republicans realistically care about

@OregonBlueDog @omgTrex22 @ModRightPatriot Okay but how did the GOP gov candidate get 50k more votes than the senate candidate? Senate is top of the ticket.

wtf

DU Member Photo Contest | Overall Category Winner: "Pintail in Spring Snow" - Josh Van Ommeren, Hill City, South Dakota “It was cold and snowing. The small lake even started to refreeze. It was just a typical spring morning in South Dakota,” jokes Josh Van Ommeren while recalling the day he shot this photo. However, his striking image of a northern pintail is anything but typical. Van Ommeren knew that ducks were packed into a large pond outside of Rapid City that day, and with the forecast calling for snow and plummeting temperatures, he figured it would be the perfect time to try to shoot some photos. He also knew that a mature drake pintail had been in the area for the past week, so he set out for the lake with a goal of getting a shot of the gorgeous sprig. “As the lake froze, it pushed the ducks closer to me,” he explains. “There were a bunch of mallards, but that was the only pintail out there, and trying to get a shot of it alone was tough because there were so many other ducks. When it began to snow, I was able to separate it from the mallards, but the heavy snow made it difficult to focus, and then I got it.” In the moment, Van Ommeren knew that he had captured several great shots, but it wasn’t until later that he realized how much this one image stood out from the others. “I’ve submitted several images for other contests, and I’ve been a DU member for years, but I never sent anything for the Ducks Unlimited contest,” he says. “But after I had so many family and friends mention how great that picture was, I figured I’d submit it this year.” Equipment: Sony A7R IV with Sony G OSS lens 2026 DU Member Photo Contest presented by @drakewaterfowl and @WildWings2

@omgTrex22 @ModRightPatriot Leaving governor blank on the Democratic side.

@ModRightPatriot There’s one ballot per party, genuinely how is this possible

@civicapi @BananaRep405 It's new voters coming in, not so much persuasion. I wouldn't be surprised if Kotek even wins it this time around.

@BananaRep405 Wild that Trump managed to win it in 2016 tbh
