Jenny Kane/APWASCO, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is in his fifth decade in Congress and the veteran Democrat is showing no inclination to step aside. He says he plans to seek another term in 2028, when he'll be 79, even as pressure builds on aging Democratic officeholders to give way to a new generation. He's traveled to all 36 Oregon counties every year that he’s been in the Senate and intends to keep doing so. After a recent town hall in Wasco in conservative Sherman County, Wyden called questions about age “fair game for debate” but said he’s still up to the job. -
