How do you list the House
How do you list the House Majority leader but not the Speaker? - Especially in a year when the Speaker is building a statewide field campaign?

The House Majority Leader lives in Hooley's district. The Speaker does not.

I'm also a little confused how Roberts, Kulongoski, and Devlin make the list but not John Kitzhaber.
