The Portland Mercury, October 21, 2010
Tina Kotek is Oregon's only openly gay legislator, but she's known just as much for taking sensible fiscal stands and for standing up for workers by backing a bill that banned credit checks by prospective employers. She clearly deserves to return to Salem. Her opponent, however, we'd like to see stay as far away as possible. And we think she'd agree with that. After all, Kitty Harmon, an eccentric Republican and Tea Party acolyte, says she's proudly anti-government. And what's more anti-government than, uh, running to be part of government?
