My dad grew up at Lorane. I think that is in his district.
Yep.

Mom grew up in Lowell, which is adjacent to Lorane in the alphabetized list. I have an Uncle who was Mayor there (Lowell), as well as family on that side in Dexter and Oak Ridge, and an Aunt and Uncle from Dad’s side who used to run a bar in Cottage Grove. I must confess, however, that I have no idea where Lorane is.
BTW—Did you know that Lane was VP on the Southern Democratic ticket in 1860?
Looking at the district maps, I think that three of the five districts (East Lane, West Lane, and Springfield) ought to be winnable by Republicans, though the two Eugene districts are hopeless. If anyone on this thread is actually familiar with Lane County politics, I’d be interested in hearing what the actual reality is like.
