The national news media has now discovered Jo Rae Perkins...so let's talk about Jo Rae Perkins.

I met Perkins in 2013 during her first run for Senate. She held a press conference at the Oregon capitol...on a Friday afternoon in August. Not exactly prime time in the #orpol world. Perkins talked up her conservative values and blue-collar background. She was barely heard from again in the race, and came in a distant fourth in the GOP primary the next May. But along the way, she played a role in one of the quirkier moments in recent Oregon political history.
