Majority Democrats name team for the 2023 session that opens Jan. 9; Corvallis lawyer was speaker in 2022. Rep. Dan Rayfield of Corvallis has been renominated by his Democratic colleagues for a full two-year term as speaker of the Oregon House. The Corvallis lawyer was chosen Wednesday, Nov. 16, as members of the Democratic majority met. Unofficial final results from the Nov. 8 election were due, but Democrats retained the majority they have had for a decade. However, it is likely that they will lose the supermajority required (60%, or 36 seats) to enable them to approve revenue-raising measures on their own.
