After surviving recall attempt, Oregon Rep. Paul Holvey quits anyway

A long-time state lawmaker from Eugene announced Thursday that he wonât seek reelection.
Rep. Paul Holvey is the longest tenured Democrat currently serving in the Oregon House. He was first appointed to the seat in 2004 and is now in his 11th term.
Holvey easily survived a recall attempt last fall by a union that was unhappy with the way he handled some labor bills. The union spent more than $300,000 in their failed attempt to oust him partway through his term.
Ultimately, just 10% of voters in Holveyâs district voted to remove him from office. The district covers much of downtown and south Eugene, as well as the University of Oregon campus.
But while Holvey vigorously defended his political record while fighting off the recall, less than five months later heâs apparently decided heâs through with life as a state lawmaker.
âItâs time for me to commit to personal and family priorities after serving in the State Legislature for more than 20 years,â Holvey said in a press release. âI am so grateful for all the years of support and trust from my community to represent them in the Oregon Legislature.â
On paper, at least, Holveyâs decision is recent. He filed to run in the May Democratic primary on Nov. 27, several months after the filing period opened but well in advance of the deadline to sign up for reelection. He officially submitted his withdrawal paperwork on Thursday morning at 11:35 a.m., citing âpersonal prioritiesâ in a notice filed with the Oregon secretary of state.
But there was at least one sign Thursday that some in the Eugene political community knew about Holveyâs decision in advance.
Exactly 46 minutes after Holveyâs office issued a press release announcing his impending retirement, a Eugene-area attorney and community organizer, Doyle Canning, issued her own press release announcing her candidacy, complete with endorsements from several current and former Oregon elected officials.
This is Canningâs first run for the Oregon Legislature, but sheâs competed twice in the Democratic primary for the 4th Congressional District, including a 2020 attempt to unseat longtime incumbent Rep. Peter DeFazio.
As of Thursday afternoon, there were no candidates who had officially filed for the House seat that Holvey currently occupies. According to the Oregon secretary of stateâs office, Democrats hold an overwhelming registration edge in the district.

Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.
