A desk in the Oregon House of Representatives ahead of the 2022 Legislative session (Ron Cooper/Salem Reporter)
A flying pig, a gnome, baby Yoda, and a large bottle of pain medication are among the items found on desks in the Oregon House of Representatives.
The sixty representatives all have the exact same desks to work at during the legislative session, but can personalize their work spaces as they wish.
A Jan. 26 walk through the chamber showed an eclectic mix of decorations.
