Food Stamps and Governor Drazan?

• Percent of households receiving food stamps/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by Oregon House of Representatives district (2025)

• Oregon’s Rural Counties Are the Hardest Hit by the Federal Government Shutdown

** From OPB “Commissioners from Clackamas, Multnomah, Wasco and Hood River counties had authority to appoint Bonham’s replacement, because SD 26 touches all four counties. Of the 18 commissioners, 11 voted for Helfrich while 7 voted for Drazan. Drazan ultimately prevailed because each commissioner from Clackamas County voted for her. Their votes carried more weight because the county has more residents who live in the state senate district.”
