OMG. Complications from a tick-born illness! How awful! I know way to many people dealing with the aftereffects of tick bites.

“I’d rather have a healthy 2 party system that stands for our country and the rule of law…”
Well, when you locate a second US political party that behaves as you suggest send up a flare, OK??

A friend of mine who used to live in the Oregon 5th described the second as “A great place to bury radioactive waste.”

I like the way you put that.
Makes it sound toxic…

It didn’t need to be. The TPM Purity Patrol takes offense at some pretty low-key things nowadays.

I would include Jackson county as part of Defazio’s district, like it used to be.
Except that, by-and-large, the people he represents in Oregon will vote for Trump again, even if he’s been impeached and convicted.
I have an almost phobic fear of ticks for this very reason.

Even as it drawn now, the Eastern 2/3’s wields more power per capita than Portland, not that you’d be able to convince anyone in Harney Co…

I am shocked that Oregon has only 5 Congressional Districts. WA state has 10.
Fine, then you need to find 200,000 people from somewhere else to add to the 2nd. Only options would be to extend the district west through the gorge to pick up the far eastern suburbs of Portland. Or else cross the Cascades and pick up Salem.
I think it makes more sense to pack Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland, and K-Falls into the same district.
There just isn’t nearly enough population in Eastern Oregon to make a stand-alone district. You have to reach west and pick up at least one of the larger cities. Medford is probably the most logical choice.
Problem is that the the only growth in Oregon outside of Bend/Redmond is west of the Cascades. Most of the small towns in eastern Oregon are actually depopulating. So unless Oregon gets another Congressional district in the next census, the 2nd will have to get even larger.

At least 40% of agriculture production of Oregon used to go to China. Walden lost his job to Trump’s tariffs.
