Join the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics for a post-election roundtable examining the significance and implications of the 2026 election and races that have not yet been decided. The discussion will consider the political, social, and institutional dimensions of the election and its potential consequences for Oregon, the United States, and democratic governance.
