Former Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek won the Democratic nomination for Oregon governor Tuesday. She will face the winner of the GOP gubernatorial primary as well as nonaffiliated candidate Betsy Johnson in the fall. As a nonaffiliated candidate, Johnson did not need to run in a primary race to make the fall ballot.
Former Oregon House Minority Leader Christine Drazan received less than a quarter of the votes in an uncommonly packed 19-person field. Despite divisions, she says Republicans will back her in November.
