State House candidate Toby Forsberg (D-Oregon City) has not officially lost the race against State House candidate Bill Kennemer (R-Oregon City), but Forsberg expressed interest in Friday in being appointed to replace outgoing State Sen. Kurt Schrader (D-Canby).

“I am interested in the seat and have been encouraged to look at it,” Forsberg said in a voicemail to PolitickerOR.com.

The results of the 5th Congressional District election have yet to be finalized, but once Secretary of State Bill Bradbury names Kurt Schrader the U.S. Representative-elect, Clackamas County will be faced with the prospect of appointing someone to replace the Canby state senator.
