Oregon Gov. Kate Brown delivers her inaugural address in the state House of Representatives on Monday, Jan. 14, 2019.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is barred from seeking another term by Oregon's term limit laws. Yet the Democrat continues to raise big money, including a recent flood of contributions from the business community. 

On this week's "OPB Politics Now," political reporters Lauren Dake, Dirk VanderHart and Jeff Mapes look at where the governor's money is coming from and why she's still in campaign mode despite the lack of a campaign. We'll also take a look at one way she could use this cash: dueling recall campaigns being run by the state Republican Party and a Republican activist who isn't exactly happy with his fellow members of the GOP.
