Beyond the talk of flipping the U.S. House or sticking it to the Trump regime, the facts are plain: Cliff Bentz doesn’t seem to care much about the people of his district. The Oregon Health Plan covered some 70% of kids in Oregon’s large 2nd Congressional district in 2025. Over 40% of people in the […]
Next month, voters in Deschutes County will decide whether to elect Interim Sheriff Ty Rupert to continue in his position as the top law enforcement officer in the County, or whether to promote DCSO Lieutenant James “Mac” McLaughlin to the post instead.

With Democrats currently holding the majority in both chambers of the state legislature as well as the governor’s office, it could be easy for a Democrat like Emerson Levy to simply fade into the blue and go along for the partisan ride.
