Oregon's new House speaker to talk results of short legislative session

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Oregon's newest House Speaker Julie Fahey is slated to speak with KOIN 6 News on Sunday evening about the achievements made by state lawmakers during the Legislature’s short session.

The 35-day session, which wrapped up Thursday evening, concluded with a statement from Gov. Tina Kotek announcing her intention to sign into law several key bills related to changing Measure 110, housing and homelessness and campaign finance contribution limits.

The House advanced Fahey to replace Dan Rayfield, a Democrat from Corvallis who is leaving the legislature to run for attorney general. Rayfield officially resigned from the position at the conclusion of the session.

Fahey will speak with KOIN 6 live at 5 p.m. to discuss the results, how Democrats and Republicans came to agreement on these issues and more.
