An overwhelming 75% of voters in Morrow County voted for Drazan while approx. 70.9% of Umatilla County voters leaned toward Drazan.
One major wrinkle in the Oregon Gubernatorial Election was the inclusion of Independent candidate Betsy Johnson, who garnered roughly 9% of votes. Johnson, who had a 20-year career in the statehouse, quit the Democratic Party in 2021. Her politics offer some appeal to centrist and unaffiliated voters who lay somewhere in the political gray area.
Kotek recently received a boost when President Joe Biden visited Portland to offer his support and drive voter interest ahead of the pivotal race. It’s been 40 years since Oregon voted a Republican as its Governor, making the nail-biting finish between Kotek and Drazan all the more compelling.
KAPP-KVEW will continuously update our Election results page and share any breaking updates as we learn more about this heated race for the top position in Oregon.
