No, Elmer Fudd Was Not An Oregon Politician

Here's a fun diversion: The Salem-Keizer School District is holding two public forums this month to decide on names for a pair of new elementary schools. Earlier, the district solicited suggestions from the community about what to name the new schools. From this list of suggested names, how many current or former Oregon politicians can you spot? There are at least five former governors (though poor Robert Holmes' name was misspelled by his nominator) and at least two Supreme Court chief justices. And there are several others' whose names appeared on an Oregon ballot but aren't from Oregon, per se. Of course, it's possible that district officials may decide to name the schools after Brandon Roy, Steve Jobs, or Elmer Fudd...just a few of the more colorful suggestions.
