A surge of last minute votes for Democrat challenger and labor organizer Lesly Muñoz has worked to defeat incumbent State Representative Tracy Cramer.   This secures the Democratic Party candidates at 60% vote control in both the Oregon State House and Oregon State Senate.  At the much watched 60% vote margin it is a super-majority where it is not only a comfortable lead it is also the legal threshold to pass tax increases.

With a billion dollar hole in the Department of Transportation and a $1.8 billion dollar government pension debt increase, one can expect a lot of new taxes to be voted upon in 2025.  ODOT is already talking about a 35-cent gas tax increase.
