Last week’s trivia question was:Â Who was the last Democratic governor who resigned his or her office because of a scandal?
The answer? Â John Kitzhaber. Â The Oregon Democrat, in his fourth non-consecutive term, was hit by allegations that his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, improperly used her relationship to the governor to boost her consulting business. Â His support quickly crumbled, and with his fellow Democrats calling for his resignation, he quit in February of 2015.
The randomly selected winner is Joshua Tsavatewa of White Swan, Wash.  Joshua wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
