Chris Dudley Announces Candidacy for Oregon Governor
Former Portland Trail Blazer Chris Dudley has officially announced his campaign for Oregon Governor. He enters a field of Republican candidates aiming to challenge current Governor Tina Kotek.
This is not Dudley's first bid for the state's highest office. He previously ran for the position in 2010 against John Kitzhaber, where he lost by a narrow margin of just 22,000 votes.
...marking it as the closest gubernatorial contest in Oregon's history.
In his video announcement, Dudley stated his goal to deliver "real change to Oregon," stressing the importance of vision and solutions. The current field of Republican hopefuls also includes former State Senator Christine Drazan, State Representative Ed Diehl, and social media commentator David Medina.
