A greener house in Oregon




The Oregon House will be decidedly more pro-environment next session with the huge victories of at least 6 OLCV targeted legislative candidates.

Environment brings wave of upsets

  • Brent Barton’s upset over incumbent Linda Flores in Clackamas County is extremely exciting as Flores’ lifetime OLCV scorecard average is an abysmal 17%.
  • Judy Stiegler’s victory over Chuck Burley in Bend was ever more satisfying because Burley’s bad record on clean energy played a huge role in that race.
  • Nick Kahl and Suzanne VanOrman, who both won open seats that had long been held by anti-environment legislators.

They will be joined by Jules Kopel-Bailey, Chris Garrett, Michael Dembrow, and Jefferson Smith to round out a great pro-environment freshman class.
