Another 22 representatives have general election opponents but are likely to win reelection because of the makeup of their districts. Rep. Annessa Hartman, D-Gladstone, won her race in Clackamas County’s 40th House District by just 181 votes in 2022. Republicans Sue Leslie, a former legislative aide, and Michael Newgard, an Army Blackhawk helicopter pilot, are vying for the chance to take her on in November. Mannix defeated Democrat Ramiro Navarro Jr. by nearly 6 percentage points in the 2022 election, but Democrats are more optimistic about their chances in 2024 with Democratic Salem City Councilor Virginia Stapleton in the race. Keith Haxton, a former legislative aide, is also running in the Democratic primary on May 21.
Process to become a candidate
The fate of a measure is determined during work sessions, when the committee debates and votes on measures. The committee may choose from several options when dealing with a measure. If they decide to report a measure out of committee, they may attach a recommendation to the body of do pass, do pass with amendments, or no recommendation. A committee may also choose to table a piece of legislation, thereby postponing its consideration.

The Oregon State Senate has been under continuous Democratic control since 2005. The 2022 Oregon House of Representatives election was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Primary elections were held on Tuesday, May 17, 2022.[1] Voters in the 60 districts of the Oregon House of Representatives elected their representatives.
House and Senate committee members, committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons are appointed by their respective presiding officers. The committee chairperson has the power to determine which measures will be on the committee’s agenda. The chair also directs the committee’s staff and presides over its deliberations. In some instances, the committee chair may also appoint subcommittees. The Chief Clerk of the House is the administrative officer elected for a two-year term by the membership of the House of Representatives to be responsible for ensuring that the chamber's business and proceedings run smoothly. They also have the duty of providing the proper setting for consideration and enactment of Oregon laws, maintaining the Rules of the House of Representatives, and advising presiding officers and other members on the proper interpretation of chamber rules and protocols.
Officers
Committee members consider the testimony of Oregon citizens; lobbyists; and business, education, and government agency representatives during public hearings on a measure. The number of public hearings held on a measure depends on the complexity of the issue. An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the political party of a group of representatives who notably voted “no” on new aid for Israel. While all Democrats voted in favor of aid to Ukraine and all but Ms. Tlaib supported funding to Taiwan, 37 left-leaning Democrats defected to vote against the Israel aid bill. They said before the vote that they opposed unfettered aid to Israel that could be used in its offensive in Gaza. The opposition to the Israel aid represented a minority of Democrats, but reflected the deep resistance to unconditional aid and the divisions in the party on Gaza.

Kate Brown (D) signed new state legislative maps into law on September 27, 2021.

With Bynum gone, it’s an open race between Democratic North Clackamas School Board member April Dobson and Republican Aimee Reiner, a customer account manager. Democrats still hold an edge in voter registration in the district, but Clackamas County is less reliably Democratic than Multnomah or Washington counties. Most Oregon House districts are dominated by Republicans or Democrats.
