The challenge is sort of capturing the issues that Oregonians feel strongly about and moving forward on those.

I know what it feels like to be paid less - substantially less - than the male lawyer in the office next to me.

As chief elections officer, it's my job to protect the integrity of the ballot.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.
