Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017 Oregon Republicans optimistic about party’s prospects both chambers. State Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day, noted in remarks Fri- day night that one Senate seat ﬂ ipped in the last election from Democrat to Republican. Sen. Alan DeBoer, R-Ash- land, won a special election to ﬁ nish the last two years of the term of the late Sen. Alan Bates, D-Medford, who died in August. DeBoer won the race by just under 400 votes, according to the Secretary of State’s Ofﬁ ce. Salem physician Bud Pierce, the Republican guber- natorial candidate who lost to Democratic Gov. Kate Brown last year, said he was feel- ing optimistic about the future of the Republican P arty in Oregon. Pierce, who is on the board of directors of Oregon’s League of Minority Voters, moderated a panel of speak- ers that included Promise King, executive director of the league, about including people of color in state politics and campaigns. Asked by a reporter whether he sees a conﬂ ict between his party’s aim to include minority Dorchester a draw for conservatives By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — Apparently buoyed by the victory of Pres- ident Donald Trump and Ore- gon Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, Oregon Repub- licans convening here Friday and Saturday were optimis- tic about opportunities for the GOP in the Beaver State. Richardson’s election secured the party’s ﬁ rst state- wide elected ofﬁ ce since 2002, resulting in something of a victory lap vibe at the annual Dorchester Conference . The conference had been held in Seaside for the past 46 years before moving to Salem this year. While Republicans lead a solid majority of state legis- latures, Oregon is one of 12 states where Democrats are in charge in both chambers, compared to 32 states where Republicans have control of Claire Withycombe/Capital Bureau U.S. Rep. Greg Walden poses for a photo at the Dorchester Conference Saturday with Promise King, executive direc- tor of the Oregon League of Minority Voters. Republicans attending the annual political conference were optimistic about the party’s chances to expand its fortunes. groups and the rhetoric of President Trump — who has been prone to making gross generalizations about minority groups, including immigrants from Mexico — Pierce said he was waiting to see what action the president takes. “Let’s see if he can give a legal status to 11 million peo- ple,” Pierce said. Pressed about the likelihood of such a rever- sal by the president, Pierce said: “Well see, you know, it was unlikely that Nixon would go to China.” Affordable housing Pierce points to the state’s lack of affordable housing as one example of what he calls the “failures” of the Demo- crats’ policies in Oregon that he believes could attract more voters to the right. The Legislature is debat- ing proposals to ban rent hikes and no-cause evictions, and many Republicans at the con- ference advocated instead for loosening up the state’s land use restrictions to encourage more development and hous- ing supply. Pierce said he believes Republicans may beneﬁ t from the growing number of voters in the state who are not afﬁ l- iated with any political party. Many new voters have been registered recently through the state’s new automatic voter registration law, which reg- isters voters as unafﬁ liated unless they designate a politi- cal party. “Can we become the nat- ural place for the unafﬁ li- ated votes?” Pierce asked. “Maybe they won’t call them- selves Republicans, but maybe they’ll do it.” State Rep. Greg Barreto, R-Cove, referencing relatively recent political shifts in Mich- igan and Wisconsin, told con- ference attendees he believes Oregon could become a red state. “I think there’s a lot of hope in Oregon,” Barreto said. “But a lot of these other states, they didn’t just change from blue to red accidentally, there was some pain that went on.” Barreto referred to eco- nomic woes in those states and continued: “If we’re not careful in Oregon, there’s going to be some pain in Oregon, when we talk about PERS, when we talk about Medicaid, when we talk about bills that we can’t afford to pay right now, we will feel some pain.” ‘Fight back’ U.S. Rep Greg Walden, R- Oregon , called on Republi- cans to stay involved. “You need to ﬁ ght back,” Walden said, when asked by an attendee if conserva- tive groups were organizing to attend town halls. “If you believe in why we run, if you believe in the policies we’re trying to implement, you have to help us ﬁ ght back, you have to be there shoulder-to-shoul- der with us.” Spanish dinner supports chorale trip DEATHS March 5, 2017 NIMMO, Lillian Louise, 88, of Astoria, died in Asto- ria.
