The occupant of the Oregon State Senate District 3 seat will change this fall, for the second time in a little more than two years. 

Alan Bates died in office in the late summer of 2016; Alan DeBoer won the special election for a two-year term but opted not to run again.  A flock of candidates from both parties filed for the open seat. 

Today we visit with DemocratsJulian Bell, Athena Goldberg, Jeff Golden, and Kevin Stine.  The candidates share the studio for a chance to compare and contrast their views.
