Tina Kotek Wins Race for Oregon Governor

Tina Kotek (D) has won the race for Oregon governor, defeating Christine Drazan (R), the Oregonian reports.

“It was a hard-fought and expensive win by Democrats, who have a huge party registration advantage in Oregon but faced strong headwinds this year amid voter frustration at problems including homelessness, violent crime and lackluster delivery of government programs and services.”
