Democratic Party of Oregon
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The Democratic Party of Oregon is the Oregon affiliate of the Democratic Party. The State Central Committee, made up of two delegates elected from each of Oregon's 36 counties and one additional delegate for every 15,000 registered Democrats, is the main authoritative body of the party.
After Oregon was admitted as a state in 1859, Oregon elected twice as many Democrats as Republicans between 1859 and 1879 in statewide elections. The party currently has 36 members in the 60-seat State House and 18 members in the 30-seat State Senate. Democrats also control all five statewide offices, both U.S Senate seats, and four of the five U.S House seats.
