SALEM, Ore. — Oregon's legislative session gets underway in Salem on Tuesday. It'll be the first session lawmakers are together in person at the Capitol building since before the pandemic, and the first long session as Speaker of the House for Representative Dan Rayfield. Democratic Rep. Rayfield was re-elected as House speaker on Monday. He said he's eager to work together with the state's Republicans to pass new laws over the next four months. "Oregon's facing some unique, unprecedented opportunities," he told KGW's Laural Porter, during a one-on-one interview in his office.
