Oregon's unusually competitive governor's race plus two closer-than-expected congressional races have put the typically blue state under a national spotlight ahead of Tuesday's election.But Beaverton Mayor Lacey Beaty is also eyeing local mayoral races, especially in Tigard and Milwaukie. If elected, Heidi Lueb would be the first woman to be mayor of Tigard and Kathy Hyzy would be the first LGBTQ mayor of Milwaukie.Down-ballot races are just as important as those on the top, Beaty said.'If we voted based on who impacted our lives the most, mayors would be on the top of the ballot,' she said Sunday.
