Listen In: KBOO’s ‘Locus Focus’ on the 2018 Midterm Elections in Cascadia

With another important US election past us, KBOO’s “Locus Focus” devoted an episode last month to looking back at the results and what the next steps are to ensure a progressive agenda moves forward in Oregon and Washington.

Sightline Programs Director Eric de Place joined host Barbara Bernstein to discuss the election and forecast what’s next in Washington’s and Oregon’s legislative sessions.

“I felt heartened to see the results,” de Place said. “It’s nice that the Democrats have retaken the House at the national level. It certainly opens up some windows for progress on climate and other environmental issues. It probably slows down the rapaciousness of the Trump Administration a little bit.”
