Show Notes
In Oregon, labor unions and advocacy groups are backing challengers against two Democratic lawmakers in upcoming primaries. Myrna Muñoz and John Waz Wasielewski are taking on Senator Janeen Sollman and Representative Daniel Nguyen, respectively, due to frustration over an ineffective supermajority. The challengers, backed by SEIU, OEA, AFL-CIO, and others, clash with moderates like Sollman and Nguyen over targeted business tax breaks versus bolder revenue reforms. Fundraising shows a significant gap, with Sollman and Nguyen leading. These primaries could signal shifts in how Oregon Democrats handle internal fights.
