The legislator in the title is Cyrus Javadi. He is a Oregon state level legislator, serving in the lower house. His district is the coastal area west of Portland, and he is now serving his second term, after winning with around a 5% margin.

This makes no difference to the makeup of the Oregonian legislature. Democrats have a majority in the state senate, and a super majority in the house, by two members. It doesn't swing the state's legislature, but it is always a good thing when people can see the errors of their ways and make a change.
