All four incumbents in contested Oregon Legislative races in the area were victorious. The closest race was in the 52nd District, where Republican Mark Johnson received 54 percent of the vote to top Democrat Mark Reynolds, while 59th District Representative John Huffman and Senators Ted Ferrioli and Bill Hansell all cruised to victory. Huffman says the defeat of Measure 97 changes the tenor of discussions in the upcoming legislative session, with a number of major fiscal issues to deal with. In Washington’s 14th State Legislative District, incumbents Curtis King, Gina McCabe, and Norm Johnson all were winning by substantial margins with votes still to be counted.
