Republican Leads Oregon Gov Race; State Hasn’t Elected GOP Gov In 39 Years

During the 2022 campaign, Kotek raised approximately $30.1 million compared with Drazan’s $22.6 million in what became the most expensive gubernatorial race in Oregon history, Oregon Live reported.

With several months remaining before voters cast their ballots, both parties are expected to invest heavily in a contest that could determine whether Democrats extend their nearly four-decade hold on Oregon’s governor’s office or Republicans pull off one of the year’s biggest statewide political upsets.
