Who voted against Jessica's Law in Oregon?

Well, they're all Democrats. Almost all of them are unopposed in the upcoming elections. And all of them are in heavily Democratic districts, most by simple majorities, others by impressive pluralities.

It's no wonder they would vote against Jessica's Law. They know they won't be held accountable.

The one possible exception to that is Mitch Greenlick, Democrat from District 33 in Northwest Portland. Voter registration in the district is 41.7 percent Democrat, 29.6 percent Republican (the rest -- almost a third -- are non-affiliated, or are registered in third parties). Greenlick is opposed by Jeffrey A. Kee in the Democratic primary. The winner faces Republican Mark Eggleston in the general election.

This is an excellent opportunity for voters in District 33 to get off their hind-ends and send a message. If Greenlick returns to Salem next year, that tells me that the voters of District 33 are clueless or apathetic, both about their district and their state.

The others are:
Mary Nolan, Democrat from District 36 in Southwest Portland. Unopposed in the primary and general elections. Voter registration is 51.3 percent Democrat, 21.4 percent Republican.

Carolyn Tomei, Democrat from District 41 in Milwaukie. Unopposed in the primary and general elections. Voter registration is 49.2 percent Democrat, 21.7 percent Republican.

Diane Rosenbaum, Democrat from District 42 in Southeast Portland. Opposed by Gordon Hillesland in the Democratic primary. No Republican opposition in the general election. Voter registration is 54.3 percent Democrat, 9.9 percent Republican.

Chip Shields, Democrat from District 43 in Northeast Portland. Unopposed in the primary and general elections. Voter registration is 60.1 percent Democrat, 9.7 percent Republican.

Jackie Dingfelder, Democrat from District 45 in Northeast Portland. Unopposed in the primary and general elections. Voter registration is 51.3 percent Democrat, 21.4 percent Republican.

If I were a Democratic Party supporter, I would be embarrassed to be in the same big tent with these folks. The tent, as Hugh Hewitt likes to say, has an edge, and this group of six has wandered well beyond the edge.
