How do yall expect Johnson to do? Will she draw more from Democrats or Republicans?

Probably the republicans. Honestly it’s not a bad idea if republicans just endorse her

I predicted Johnson would be a serious challenge to Kotek, much stronger than any republican could ever be

Kurt Schrader may endorse Johnson:

2. They all oppose mandatory treatment for hard drug users

Which of these do you mean?

A. They think that people should be allowed to use hard drugs freely without having to go to treatment

B. They oppose the current system in which hard drug use is decriminalized and the worst-case consequence is mandatory rehab

For Drazan and Betsy it’s clearly B while for Kotek it’s pretty much A

I've got a tricky question for you:
Even though Tina Kotek is likely to have won the gubernatorial election in Oregon, she will not be the first openly lesbian governor in the history of the United States.
Why?

I’m guessing Healy gets sworn in first?
