Barker calling it quits. Who jumps in?
T.A. Barnhart
Rep Jeff Barker, HD 28
Not a big secret in Salem, but I'm not seeing any reports online: Jeff Barker won't be seeking re-election.
The 5-term Dem (HD 28, Aloha) is hanging 'em up after 2012, leaving the Dems to hold onto his seat with a fresh body — or the GOP to take that seat with their own noob. I've heard a few names bandied about, but I'm not going to offer anyone here.
I'll leave that to the comments. I will note, however: Democratic National Committeewoman & former Chair of the Washington County Dems Lupita Maurer lives in the district. Which, of course, has not been redrawn yet for 2012, so the speculations are extra-speculatey.

I don't think any of the available maps moves her out of 26. Matt Winger must have put a special marker on her house.

Agree about Huma, although Map 1 (the Dems map) moves Huma (and Jason) into HD 27....

Actually, the current map does move her into the edge of 28. She is currently committed to John Kroger's Campaign.
