Governor Kotek’s plan

  John — Tina’s mission as Governor will always be to deliver results and move the state forward, so that every Oregonian, no matter their race or zip code, can have the same opportunities. That means building more housing and reducing homelessness, improving access to mental healt…

The work begins

  John — I’m not wasting a single moment to start moving Oregon forward. One of the things I heard from people around the state during the campaign is that the challenges facing Portland affect the whole state. Earlier this week, I had a constructive first meeting with Portland May…

We have to turn out as many voters as possible.

Three things!

  John — Voting in Oregon has never been more critical. Or easier. All you have to do is fill out your ballot and turn it in at any mailbox or ballot drop box by 8:00 p.m. Tuesday. It’s that easy to vote. You don’t even need a stamp, just turn it in, and you are good to go. So with…

All eyes are on Oregon

  I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, John, but all eyes are on Oregon right now. My contest with Christine Drazan is one of the closest in the entire country. National Republicans are blanketing the airwaves with ads attacking me, and Phil Knight has donated millions to give m…

Tina Kotek and Christine Drazan are neck-and-neck

  Here’s the situation, John: Nearly every recent poll has Tina Kotek and Christine Drazan neck-and-neck in the race for Oregon governor. And with national Republicans and billionaires like Phil Knight spending millions of dollars on attacks against Tina, they’re clearly pulling ou…

Phil Knight is trying to buy Oregon's election

  John — In September, Republican billionaire Phil Knight contributed $2 million to conservative Betsy Johnson's campaign. Since Oregon started electronically recording donations, this is the single largest contribution by an individual to a campaign in the state... ever. Then last…

Early vote update

  John, Tina’s campaign manager here. I’ve been looking at the vote returns every morning since ballots dropped in mailboxes across the state, and they’re a little behind what we want to see. If we don’t fix this now, we could end up with a MAGA Republican as our governor. So, I ju…

Governor Christine Drazan 😳

A vote for Betsy is a vote for Drazan

  This is urgent, John, The Bulletin reports that Tina’s conservative opponent Betsy Johnson is “in [the] governor’s race until it’s over.” Polls show that Betsy doesn’t have a chance to win this race, and she is paving the way for MAGA Republican Drazan to win. We need to let Oreg…

BOO! 🎃

Inside Elections downgraded Tina’s race

Christine is lying again

  John, Tina’s out-of-touch MAGA Republican opponent Christine Drazan is putting up millions of dollars worth of dishonest advertisements on TV and in the mail. She’s just one of many MAGA Republicans who are employing what CNN is calling a “dishonesty-filled barrage” of attack ads…
