Smith to skip reelection

The Oregonian is reporting that Corbett Rep. Patti Smith won't be running to reclaim her seat this year. 

"Another veteran Republican of the Oregon House -- Rep. Patti Smith of Corbett -- won't be seeking re-election this year.

"That opens up another seat for Democrats to try to widen their slim 31-29 lead. Democrats Suzanne VanOrman and Steve Richkind have already filed for House District 52, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans."
