House Transportation Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., will retire at the end of this Congress.

DeFazio, who will step down after serving in the House of Representatives for 36 years, becomes the 19th Democratic lawmaker to retire or run for different office in 2022 elections, as the party tries to defend it's razor thin majority in the chamber. Twelve House Republicans are retiring or seeking another office next year.

D-Ore

Probably a Blue district. These old timers don't want the payback they deserve in the minority

Thoughts?

The fourth is a weird cross between West Virginia and Berkley—at least as I remember it. Are there enough people left alive in the who fell into the habit of voting for DeFazio because Lincoln was a Republican who will reconsider what they have been doing for a very long time when faced with a new name?

In the least, can we do better than Jim Weaver?

Dominated by Eugene, but Eugene, unlike Portland, isn’t effectively infinite in population.

Actually the Cook pvi in his district is +1 Republican so this district is highly winnable.

Alek Skarlatos is running again, I believe. I don’t yet know who the heir to the Weaver/DeFazio seat might be. There’s plenty of dissatisfaction with Biden/Brown, locally, but, as always....the college towns.

Big news: DeFazio is in a slightly Republican-leaning district. He probably has polling that says that he’s unelectable, after he’s had to turn hard left to deal with Nancy and the Jihad Squad.
