By Britten Chase, PolitickerOR.com Reporter

State House candidates Rep. John Lim (R-Gresham) and Greg Matthews (D-Portland) have been keeping some unusual campaign hours during this election cycle.

Matthews (D-Portland) works all night for the Gresham Fire Department before taking advantage of the daylight hours to campaign.

Meanwhile, Lim is up at dawn to greet Gresham residents at the MAX line and talk about the community’s issues before they head off to work during the day.

The Oregonian editorial board endorsed two Republicans and one Democrat in three of the states most competitive house races Sunday.

In all three races, the Oregonian urged readers to elect who they say as the more experienced candidate. That led to the paper giving the nod to Rep. John Lim (R-Gresham) in HD-50, to elect John Nelsen (R-Wood Village) in HD-49, and to elect Suzanne VanOrman (D-Hood River) in HD-52.

State House candidate Greg Matthews (D-Portland) released a new ad Monday touting his various public safety careers and promising to continue to serve the residents of East Multnomah County if elected.

“They say that being a good representative is all about responding to people,” Matthews says in the ad. “Well, that’s one thing I sure know how to do, whether it’s a fire call, or a police 911 call, or my country’s call.”
