DemocraticIn a stunning comeback, Lesly Mu Oz has secured Democratic control of both legislative houses by winning the Oregon House seat for the Woodburn district.
On election night, Republican Rep. Tracy Cramer, who had served her first term in office, appeared set to retain her seat in the district, holding a lead of over 6 percentage points at one point. She was likely to keep her seat, according to a number of analysts and news sources, including The Oregonian/OregonLive. However, as Marion County began to tally the thousands of ballots that were still available, the results became more precise in the weeks that followed.
