Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that state politics in 2026 will be shaped by the upcoming governor’s race, with Gov. Tina Kotek seeking another term while facing criticism over housing costs, school performance, and unemployment, as well as her handling of clashes with the Trump administration over National Guard deployments to Portland.[Oregon Public Broadcasting] OPB also notes lawmakers are preparing for a short February session dominated by a nearly 900 million dollar budget hole created when recent federal tax cuts reduced state revenue tied to the federal code.[Oregon Public Broadcasting]
Transportation funding is at the center of both government and ballot-box drama. Ballotpedia reports that voters will decide in November whether to overturn parts of a recently passed transportation bill, including a gas tax increase, after opponents gathered enough signatures for a veto referendum.[Ballotpedia] According to KATU’s interview with Secretary of State Tobias Read, elections officials are now verifying those signatures and preparing for possible legislative tweaks to Oregon’s new campaign finance law, which is scheduled to take fuller effect in 2027.[KATU News]
At the local level, OPB highlights that Portland is still adjusting to its new form of government and a new mayor, with debates over homelessness policy, council efficiency, and unspent funds likely to dominate City Hall this year.[Oregon Public Broadcasting]
In the economy and higher education, Oregon State University continues to be a major growth engine. The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities notes OSU has been recognized for innovation and economic prosperity and is building the Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex, which will house one of the nation’s most powerful NVIDIA supercomputers and anchor new AI-focused research.[Association of Public and Land-grant Universities] Tradeline reports that OSU’s broader master plan includes infrastructure upgrades and reimagined engineering facilities to support expanding enrollment and industry partnerships.[Tradeline] In Bend, the State Partnership News service reports that OSU-Cascades is advancing plans for an 84.2 million dollar student health and recreation center, with construction slated to begin in late 2026 as part of a larger quality-of-life and campus expansion effort.[Strategic Partnerships, Inc.]
Community and education investments continue at earlier levels, too. The Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care says the state recently secured about 7.3 million dollars in federal Preschool Development Grant funding to strengthen early childhood systems and improve coordination of services for families.[News & Information – DELC]
Weather is also on the minds of many. KGW News reports heavy snow has finally returned to the Cascades, prompting a winter storm warning and travel concerns over the passes, even as lowland areas remain mostly wet and cold rather than severely impacted.[KGW News]
Looking ahead, listeners should watch the February legislative session, the fate of the transportation funding referendum, early moves in the governor’s race, and how major university projects and early learning investments translate into jobs, classrooms, and construction across the state.
