POPULARITY
Oregon’s 5th Congressional District has received national attention as a highly competitive race, with the winner of the May primary challenging Republican incumbent Lori Chavez-DeRemer in November. Jamie McLeod-Skinner is an attorney and engineer. Janelle Bynum is a small business owner and the Democratic state representative of District 39 which includes Happy Valley and North Clackamas. They join us for a debate.
The so-called "red wave" did not materialize in the 2022 election. Nonetheless, the GOP made some significant gains nationally and in the Northwest. Republicans will have control of the U.S. House, and in Oregon, they broke the Democratic supermajority in the state house chamber. And Oregon was one of the few blue states in the country where Republicans gained legislative seats.Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer took the 5th Congressional District. The seat was held by the moderate seven-term Democrat Kurt Schrader, but he lost to the more progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner in the May primary.We talk about these wins and the future of the Oregon Republican party with political strategists Reagan Knopp and Julie Parrish.
Oregon's 5th Congressional district is freshly redrawn and stretches from Clackamas County to Bend. New geographical coverage has now led to candidates Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Jamie McLeod-Skinner finding themselves in an extremely tight race, garnering national attention. Chavez-DeRemer is the former mayor of Happy Valley and a small business owner in health care. McLeod-Skinner an attorney and a regional emergency manager.

When something huge happens in the world, my mind goes to what George Carlin would think. He was not only THE comedian with his pulse on everything, but he seemed to be able to predict the future. 'Prescient' is a word I often use to describe him, as I did last week when a Carlin bit on abortion rights went viral after the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion that appears will overturn Roe v Wade... So, in a sense, we do have him weighing in on current events. But not really. The world lost George Carlin in 2008. Although there are many talented comedians riffing on our lives and tribulations, there's still a giant hole where George Carlin should be. A few years back, I was fortunate to meet Kelly Carlin. She wrote a memoir, "A Carlin Home Companion" about growing up as the only child of the comic legend of our times. She then wrote and performed a one-woman show based on the book, which I was also fortunate to see. And she came on my show to talk about it, and has returned numerous times since then. Not to talk about her amazing father, but to talk about the important work she's doing herself. Well today she's back to talk about George! A new 2-part documentary premieres on HBO and HBO Max this Friday and Saturday. It's directed by Judd Apatow, but Kelly is one of the executive producers. So I get to pepper her with questions about her dad without feeling guilty about it... We'll begin with a feeling of relief and comfort, as the first big primary day of the 2022 midterms was mostly encouraging! Big wins for progressives, as John Fetterman handily won the Democratic nomination for senate from PA, and Summer Lee appears to be on track to win her race to run for the House seat form District 12, defeating a corporate, deep pocketed attorney Steve Irwin and the almost 4 million dollars spent on his behalf against her by PACs aligned with AIPAC. There's even better news out of Oregon where the progressive running to unseat the man often called the "Joe Manchin of the House" -- Kurt Schraeder- did it! Jamie Mcleod-Skinner is enjoying an almost 2-1 lead over the soon to be former DINO congressman from OR-5. So, George (and Kelly) Carlin and some good electoral news for progressives. That's a Wednesday I can believe in!
We take a sober look at Saturday's massacre of African Americans in Buffalo. The shooting was partly because of white supremacy. But the REAL reason for the shooting is it's too easy for every lunatic in America to get their hands on an assault weapon. Our nation's gun laws are an act of collective suicide. We choose weapons over peace. We prefer profits for arms manufacturers over our own security. From guns to for profit healthcare Americans are killing themselves in the name of Mammon.

Political insiders are predicting the race to represent Oregon's newly redrawn 5th Congressional district could become the nation's marquee Democratic House primary to watch. That's according to an article in Politico.Seven-term incumbent Kurt Schrader, a moderate, is being challenged from the left by former congressional candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner from central Oregon. They're running in a newly formed district. The boundaries were reshaped by the Oregon Legislature last fall and now include most of Clackamas and Marion Counties, but not Salem.

Oregon's Kurt Schrader has taken the most money from the fossil fuel and pharmaceutical industries as almost any Democrat in congress. Jamie McLeod-Skinner is challenging him in the primary in Oregon's 5th District on May 16th. From repairing schools in war torn countries to developing climate protection policies in Silicon Valley to wildfire recovery in Oregon, Jamie has a record of producing solutions and models for people-centered leadership. We're going to talk about her plans for the 5th district and also about the music stories that lead her there.
This may be our most surprising podcast episode to date. Folks may remember Jimmy Crumpacker as a candidate for Oregon's 2nd Congressional District in 2020, running as a staunchly conservative Republican (he had a popular ad that labeled him as a "Trumpbacker") to replace retiring Congressman Greg Walden. In a tight four-way race, he finished behind eventual winner Congressman Cliff Bentz, Knute Buehler, and Jason Atkinson. Now, Crumpacker is running again, this time in the new, ultra-competitive 5th Congressional District. He will face former Mayor Lori Chavez DeRemer in the primary (Congressman Kurt Schrader faces Jamie McLeod Skinner in the Democratic Primary). This episode starts with Jimmy's personal background, but veers quickly into a fascinating conversation on global geopolitics, including how the U.S. should handle China. This conversation on foreign affairs was the deepest of any we've had so far, and we really enjoyed it. We also talk about two of Jimmy's "celebrity donors", his beliefs on investing government funds, why 2020 was a challenging year for new candidates, and how he plans to appeal to voters of color this cycle.
Jamie McLeod Skinner is one of the most interesting figures in Oregon politics. She gained prominence by challenging longtime GOP congressman Greg Walden in Oregon's deep-red second congressional district in 2018 -- and coming closer to beating him than any other candidate in his two decade career. She then ran a competitive race for Oregon Secretary of State in the 2020 Democratic Primary. Jamie has unique insight on Oregon's urban-rural divide, living in central Oregon and serving as interim city manager for Talent (a town recovering from devastating wildfires). In this episode, Jamie offers honest critiques of Oregon's political institutions and systems and talks about racial justice from a rural perspective.
This week, former congressional candidate Jamie McLeod Skinner joins host Laural Porter to talk about her qualifications for Oregon Secretary of State, which is next in succession to the governor. McLeod Skinner is one of three democrats vying for the position. The others, Shemia Fagan and Mark Hass, joined Straight Talk last week.
One of the most competitive races in Oregon’s May 19 primary is the Democratic race for secretary of state. Three candidates are vying for the chance to take on the winner of the Republican primary in this November’s general election. State Sen. Shemia Fagan and state Sen. Mark Hass are this week’s guests on Straight Talk with Laural Porter as they make their pitch to voters. The third Democratic candidate, Jamie McLeod Skinner, will be a guest on the show next week.

Episode 176: When we come out of the immediate pandemic crisis, then, maybe we can have some accounting of who and what is responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of people—and among the “who” would be, say, politicians who are making themselves look like heroes today—I’ll just say, randomly, New York politicians—even though they sat on their hands in January when the World Health Organization issued a worldwide pandemic warning, which you think might have made those same aggrandizing politicians—say, in New York—think, “gee, maybe I should make sure we are stocked up with the right equipment.” Support the podcast here: www.patreon.com/WorkingLifePodcast But, the bigger inquiry should be about how a part of the crisis comes right from the way we’ve allowed global corporations and elites to set up an economic system using trade deals that profits them a whole lot but leaves everyone else vulnerable to a pandemic, not to mention other quaint class warfare damage. Which is what I talk about today with Lori Wallach, the director of Global Trade Watch. Support the podcast here: www.patreon.com/WorkingLifePodcast And Secretary of State may not be a position that gets a lot of people excited but it’s an important job—most people serving as a state-level Secretary of State have a huge role in redistricting and, certainly, they work to make sure elections run properly. If you match that to someone who really cares about the position, knows a ton about what can be done in the role and also is running to be a secretary of state not just as a stepping stone but because they really want to do the job, then, you’ve got a great combination—or perhaps you’ve gotten to know Jamie McLeod-Skinner who is running for secretary of state in Oregon, and joins me to discuss her campaign.
