GRANTS PASS — Oregon House Minority Leader Carl Wilson, deposed Monday as leader of the House Republican caucus, says he won’t seek re-election in 2020.

Wilson, a Republican from Grants Pass, lost a battle for leadership of the GOP caucus to freshman Rep. Christine Drazan, R-Canby. Wilson said Rep. Daniel Bonham, R-The Dalles, was elected deputy leader Monday night, replacing Rep. Greg Barreto, a Republican from Cove.

The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports the sticking point was a strategy dispute regarding election campaigns in 2020 over how to even the odds against Democrats, who have a 38-22 supermajority in the House.

Wilson said he’s ready to call it quits on a career that has spanned six legislative terms and won’t seek reelection next year.

Wilson owns the Grants Pass Broadcasting Corporation with radio stations KAJO and KLDR.
