"Oregon Lawmakers Focus on Measure 110 Changes and Housing in Upcoming Session"

Christine Drazan, who narrowly missed becoming governor in 2022, has formed an organization called A New Direction for Oregon, which is now targeting Measure 110, Oregon’s drug decriminalization law, due to issues with treatment options. The Democrats have proposed a plan to re-criminalize drugs as a Class C misdemeanor, which will be a key issue in the upcoming legislative session. Drazan also discussed her solutions to the fentanyl crisis, her opinion on the Oregon Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Measure 113, and the goals of her organization in a recent interview.
