OPB Politics Now

Voters across Oregon are probably scrounging at this point to find their ballots as Election Day is just a few days away. The main event awaits in November as Oregonians will select their next governor. But for voters in Central and Eastern Oregon, there are some key races on the May ballot and big issues driving the politics behind the scenes. We spent last week talking about the suburbs and this week we are taking a closer look at the politics playing out east of the Cascades. Reporters Bryce Dole, Kathryn Styer Martínez and Antonio Sierra break down the issues of note. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.
