A surge of last minute votes for Democrat challenger and labor organizer Lesly Muñoz has worked to defeat incumbent State Representative Tracy Cramer. This secures the Democratic Party candidates at 60% vote control in both the Oregon State House and Oregon State Senate. At the much watched 60% vote margin it is a super-majority where it is not only a comfortable lead it is also the legal threshold to pass tax increases.
