  John — The key race updates just keep coming: First, the Republican Governors Association dropped an additional $1 million into Christine Drazan’s campaign, bringing their total contributions to an eye-popping $2.6 million. Then, Cook Political Report downgraded our race from “Le…

  John, I’m proud to be running a campaign focused on the issues Oregonians care about. We’re at a critical juncture, and I need your input! With 53 days till the election, everything we do needs to be laser-focused on challenges and solutions that you care about – because there’s…

“Toss Up”

  "No race for governor has been more surprising than Oregon, which we last shifted into the competitive column at the end of July, moving it from Likely to Lean Democrat. Now, we are changing our race rating once again into the Toss Up column." — Cook Political Report, 9/…

Sabato’s Crystal Ball

  This isn’t the news we were hoping for, John: Inside Elections downgraded our race from lean Democrat to tilt Democrat, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball downgraded our race from "Leans Democratic" to "Toss-up.” Our conservative, out-of-touch opponents have a real shot to win. To put it…
