Minority Leader Tim Knopp talks his new role, Governor Brown‘s ratings, and the kicker | EP 35
Play • 44 min

Senator Tim Knopp is a long-time figure in Oregon GOP politics. Starting off his political career as an insurgent candidate, he quickly rose to the peak of power of GOP power including serving as Majority Leader in the House and as the new Minority Leader in the Senate. We talk everything from redistricting and "the kicker" to why Governor Brown's approval ratings are so low and if Knopp describes himself as a conservative or moderate. The episode also features some really interesting discussion on how Knopp survived in a district President Biden won by more than double figures and the playbook that other GOP candidates can run with. Finally and maybe most importantly, Alex is forever banned from telling jokes on the podcast after another one falls flat.
