Oregon state government

Oregon's state government is divided into three branches: the Executive, led by the Governor who enforces laws; the Legislative, consisting of the Oregon Legislature (Senate and House of Representatives) that creates laws; and the Judicial, including courts that interpret laws and settle disputes. The government manages state services such as education, transportation, health, and environmental protection. Elected officials serve terms to represent residents' interests, with checks and balances ensuring no branch becomes too powerful. This structure aims to provide effective governance and ensure accountability to Oregon's citizens.
