With a record like that, she'd fit right in with the other party. I don't know what Biden was smoking when he decided to tap her of all people, but it must be so good it's still illegal in Oregon.
The reasons she got tapped is because she’s very moderate and tows the party line. With in the party institution she’s played by “the rules” and garnered a lot of popularity and favors with in it. She also fits in a demographic that the party upper echelons want to appeal more to without pushing legislation that those demographics are asking for.
It's a terribly sad commentary on American politics that the above list of sins is considered “moderate” here.
