Go Christine! Go Betsy! I'll be voting against another four years of Kate Brown's agenda, which has done so much harm to the economy & culture of our fellow citizens.
I’m most impressed with Betsy Johnson for sure-still may pull the lever for her but as of right now I’m leaning Drazan because I believe there is a clear need to send a message to the Democrats who are running the state into the ground. Kotec has the cheek to say that she has the solutions for Oregon when it is largely her party that has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
Well said. I am feeling the same way. I was for sure Drazan until I watched this. We don’t need another Kate or anyone that she trained and wants to continue her failures. Going to be a rough choice.
I think Betsy Johnson is the best candidate for the job. And her glasses are pure fire. That said, she won’t win because she doesn’t have a D or R next to her name. Kotex is just Kate Brown 2.0. Horrible. I will be voting for Christine Drazan. Oregon needs a change. We haven’t had a Republican since 1982. It’s time for change.
Tina is the only candidate with any real experience on the homeless issue. Johnson and Drazen are relying on magical bullshit. But the truth isn't attractive to voters as you clearly want a rosey bs speech instead.
I'm pretty far right (eg privatize the roads, right) and I'm pulling for Betsy Johnson here. Drazen also strikes me as being a "party politician" and I can easily see her doing nothing and blaming the Dems. You can just hear it in their voices. I'm not a huge fan of everything he did, but man imagine the ass-kickings Tom McCall would be spreading around if we could pull him out of the time machine. Dude would send Vice Principal Brown and Assistant Manager Kotek to the friggin Shadow Realm.
Compared to Betsy Johnson, Tina Kotek dosen't seem like she prepared enough for this debate. Her main plan seems to be just keep throwing money randomly at all the problems and hope something works. As a tax payer who lives in Oregon, I think it's time to revoke the blank checks they keep handing out from my tax dollars. We need real decerning and intellegent leadership here, not more of the same. Tina Kotek calmly stating something like, "I'm gonna fix problems" "I'm gonna fix problems"over and over. Meanwhile Betsy is almost jumping out of her chair with enthusiasum, very animated, strong conviction in her voice, memorzing detailed examples of each of her arguments. Its clear to me that Betsy Johnson realizes the gravity of the situation in Oregon and she know that we are on fire here.
Have you seen Kotek’s voting record? She always votes yes for every tax increase and wants tolls too. She even wants the kicker reduced. More reckless spending is what we will get if she wins.
Kotek wants Oregon tax payers to pay for "Abortion Tourism" in which women who do not live in our state travel to Oregon and you and I pay for their abortions...So after creating policies that caused a flood of homeless, drug addicts and criminals to make their way to Oregon in which we are forced to pay for, Kotek has developed a new 'Crisis" that we will be forced to pay for...Kotek is the worse of the worse
@@tpowell3776 Do you really think that homeless people and drug addicts are moving here in mass because of the services we provide? How can they afford to do that? The drug addicted spend every last cent they have on more drugs to reduce their withdrawals. Are other states handing out free tickets for them to get here? The homeless can't even feed and clothe themselves without help. I don't really think they're able to choose where they live. This is part of the reason why we are in this crisis to begin with, everyone refuses to take resposibilty.

I checked Kotex record, she is no different from Brown. Tina Kotex can't even visit a republican town that has democrats in them. Right now she is in Bend a majority Dem town, when she said she visited southern Oregon it was Ashland a majority Dem town. She is NOT for all of Oregon, she is only for Large city Democrats, just like Brown..
Wow…not one comment on here in support of Tina Kotek…I think no matter what side you are on, nothing can be more clear…we need change here in Oregon. Too many suffering.
I remember when the WA governor debates happened a couple years ago. Every single person who watched the debates was enthusiastic for Culp and wanted to see Inslee's head on a pike. Inslee ended up steam-rolling him. Most voters know the names of the presidential candidates, and they know R and D, and that's it. I'm in WA myself now but I'm really hoping Oregon can pull this off. I still think of Oregon as home. I'd love to see it turn around and become a place I can live again.
Tina wants to continue what Kate Brown has started. 33 years of one party rule in Oregon needs to come to an end. I love what Betsy has to say, her voting history doesnt go along much with what she says though. The lefts agenda and what they care most about is not what is good for all just good for them.
Been saying this for the longest. Tina is just here to continue what Kate Brown has been doing for years. I love how Besty speaks but she's not a do-er she says things that makes you feel proud to be an American atimes but shes a flip flopper. It's time Oregon gets a Republican governor. Our voices have been silenced for years. Hell some of us were fired for speaking against vaccine mandates. This leftist take over needs to end. Oregon is not just a left leaning state.
Tina: we need to bring everyone to the table. We won't listen to anything you say because we have a super majority, but please, talk till your blue in the face while we do whatever the hell we want. Also Tina: we closed down your "non essential" businesses but we did some fancy accounting in the hopes you might not go out of business. Lipstick on a pig.
What sucks is that Betsy Johnson seems like a really good candidate, but her chances of winning are really slim. Tina Kotek is so radical so that ain't happening. It looks like a lot of people are going to settle for Drazan.
i dont agree on abortion up to birth and betsy response by saying "im not a doctor" is absolutely ridiculous and illogical. you dont need to be a doctor to saying murdering 8 month babies is wrong, she has no kids and it shows in her reasoning. how long do we need to figure out your ready for elective abortions. abortion is an optional thing to report to the cdc. we have no idea in how many babys are being killed even when their completely viable.
@@funtimefreddy4204 well it's not about changing abortion laws its about being honest and reasonable in your replies. If Betsy says I'm not a doctor as if you need to be a doctor to say near birth abortions are just aweful then your biased in a way where your clearly showing your true colors for lack of reason. She use to be on the planned parenthood board or whatever she said and has major funding from Phil knight it leads me to be skeptical of her true intentions. Drazen is republican establishment but it leads me down a road of morals and me having to justify wether I should vote for someone whos extremely logical in a lot of circumstances except something so clearly answerable. She can answer any question head on but when confronted on near birth abortions she all of a sudden needs a degree? It's illogical in every sense. She also has no kids which drazen gets a upper hand in because she herself is a mother and mothers have more expierence understanding certain things then non mothers. So this childless woman is justifying abortion up to death by the claim of not being a doctor but she can speak on every other issue? It grows concern in me based on the circumstances. A childless elderly woman supporting such loos restrictions on killing kids makes me have a feeling like she has some sort of agenda at hand that she lives by especially being so close to planned parenthood and the upbringing that came with planned parenthood such as white supremacy and Margaret Sanger and trying to essentially mass genocide blacks. This is real information planned parenthood even made a statement about her. Idk call me paranoid but I found the whole ordeal odd does no one els?
Reason, logic, math, history, even science agree that a Kotek win would be the end for an already failing Oregon. As much as I like Betsy and her balls, Drazan is the only chance we have of a decent future for Oregon, based on good old reality. I highly recommend thinking about your vote and not feeling it.
@@packergeek10 Yeah, I’m hearing that a lot. Just from this debate I’d favor Betsy Johnson but it seems like a wasted vote. I’d rather settle for Drazan than get a more militant version of Kate Brown in Tina Kotek.
Go to Portland and see how "great" Tina Kotek and Kate Brown have been working for OR. They have made OR decline. Your rent, your utility bills, gas, groceries have gone up so drastically. More than ever, we need change. Kate and Tina have failed Oregon! Guys, Drazan is our new lady. Vote Drazan! 💯
Drazen is with the other "team" but she doesn't sound very substantial in this debate. Better than Kotex, obviously, but IMO Betsy Johnson took them both to school.
If you cannot see both D and R agreeing with Johnson and how that shows exactly what Johnson is say when she say she will have the best of both sides of she is elected
I like both Johnson and Drazan. I think Betsy a little more But who ever is leading in the poles that can whoop Kotex A$$ is who I will vote for, The last thing Oregon needs is another destructive Dem… But I do worry about Betsy's health😟 she's not young, she's 71 years old and don't look too healthy, if she won and something happened to her, we would be stuck with an unknown Democrat Secretary of State for governor.😟That's how we got Brown🤢
I honestly think Johnson will and should win. I completely agree that the two parties are becoming more polarized and it will only hurt our economy and the soul of our state. Her opinions on important topics are simply more economical and morally sound. Except for her stance on higher education, honestly, we need to simply make that information and tests available to everyone not just lucky people who can get the few scholarships out there, people who can afford it, or people who are willing to go into life long debt just to get information that should be free. We won't ever have a pro-life governor (who will work to remove choice), especially now, and Johnson is simply a better candidate than Kotek as far policies are concerned, we do need to focus on where our money goes and listening for the best solution even if it's from the other side.
@@hh-hj9fn So is pulling the plug on someone who's on life support or war. If your going to be pro-life you've got to be pro-life. I also don't think anyone who is that far along would suddenly decide to abort instead of getting a C-section.
@@mcscrubington3120 I use to think like that to friend. But when your inner circle brainwashes you with surrounding ideology you do things you otherwise wouldn't do. Iv seen people say and do things outside their realm of understanding/ideology. For example it's like trans youth with hormones or surgery. Alot of people think no one would cut their genitals off unless they were sure but iv so far seeen many videos of young people regretting these very perminent decisions. When you surround someone with an ideology and fill someone's head with certain things they are more inclined to think that way and act that way. Idk how old you are but I am in my 20s and it's almost impossible for me to fully get someone to understand what I'm saying for I have lived through some of this ideological training. That's why we need statistics to be forced reported instead of voluntary, so we can know exactly as a society what is going on. Until their is clear evidence of this information we wont know and our living blindly. It's like when they say trust the science but they aren't giving you scientific information to work with. I can't trust the science with certain information than walk in the dark with pure emotion to form a opinion, it's illogical. Especially when their is institutions profiting of the suffering/mental illness of others with growth charts of profits their making of others.
Johnson has ZERO chance of winning. Gary Johnson should have won against Hillary and Trump, but he only got 1.5 million votes (I actually voted for him). This isn't a fairy tale book, it is stark reality. Johnson would be a better governor than Drazan, but Drazan will still be a good governor. Don't waste your vote, as a Kotek win would be the end of Oregon as we knew it, many years ago. Drazan can bring that back.
As far as the water issue is concerned, I don't hear any of them talking about the rules/laws & regulation surrounding rainwater collection for individuals
Why would they say anything about it? State law allows residents to collect runoff from rooftops and store it in reservoirs, rain barrels, water tanks, or other containers
Wow! I didn’t realize Tina Kotex was such a vile person. This debate really showed that to me. Will definitely vote against her having any sort of control.
"Portland Solutions" bugs me. I live in Portland. I own land and pay taxes here and my kids are PPS kids. Why take a cheap shot at the people you are trying to convince?
Because "Portland" keeps voting for irrational people who are hurting all of us. Your city has more than earned the ire of the rest of the state. Your Mayor is a socialist, weak on crime, idiot who let antifa grow and spread across the state. Your voting hurts is all...so, yes Screw Portland!
It's the one size fits all bs that rural Oregon both on the coast along with east and central oregon are pissed about because it wrecks our local economy and puts our already low standard of living to new lows. That's why you have the Greater Idaho movement because Eastern Oregon has had enough of having ideas that aren't even theirs shoved down their throats and to add insult to injury support the tax burden of those ideas as well.
I came here because of a friend who watched these debates at another location. He was spot on when describing the three. Only ONE directly answered every question. Johnson. Tina's answer to nearly everything was to get more funding. Drazan doesn't provide enough real solutions to our issues....just pretty rhetoric. I'm voting for Betsy. She is the clear choice.
I like Betsy too. I’m registered independent and I align with her views. HOWEVER I know that she was funded by our local billionaires to siphon votes from democrats. If we end up with Kotek because of my vote, and my “lighting rod issues” are in jeopardy? I’d never forgive myself.
@@viiictoria From what I've seen, I think Johnson is pulling pretty evenly from both sides (can't believe I'm saying that exact sentence again after 2016). If Johnson were pulling mostly from Drazen, that would imply that otherwise the Republicans would be absolutely steamrolling, by a margin that even Idaho and Wyoming don't often see. I just refuse to believe that Oregon is in that position. That's like a Democrat pulling a 20-point lead in Alabama. There's just no way.
Johnsons very strong here for everyone outside of portland Salem. She doesn't have a chance in hell at winning. Kotek is a fish out of water here. She's a slick corporate politician from the big city and she doesn't know fuck all about anything outside of that. If kotek wanted to help these people she knows how and could get it done. But she doesn't, rural oregon doesn't have anything kotek wants and doesn't have any leverage to make kotek pay attention to them. Drazan? She's at least from a small town but all her experience so far has been preventing portland progressives from ramming their insane fever dreams down our throats. That's good, but it's not enough. Does she have any experience actually getting anything done? I wish betsy had better poll numbers.
@@FirstName-nf4fx I'm over 60, and I have stopped voting "to keep someone else from winning". If Mrs. Johnson doesn't have a chance in hell at winning, it is because of the repeated rhetoric, that she doesn't have a chance. She does.....if people voted by who those women actually are. That is the failure of a two party system. I vote for the best candidate, regardless. When we all learn to do that, the best person to represent us will prevail.
In the past I’ve abstained from voting. However this election I will be voting for not Kelok. I saw an RV burning in the middle of a pond out on delta parkway.
Absolutely disgusting, “the people have been so good to be quiet”. Oh we cannot have people react to and respectfully approve or disapprove with the candidate! Shut the people up! Take a flipping hike!
Pretty sure my friend still works for Intel in Hillsborough… So they didn’t “leave the state”. Maybe they developed additional manufacturing out of state, but they are still here.
Mostly, the state needs to get out of the way! Kotek is all about expanding gov't. The shut downs killed many small businesses! Kotek is part of the problem that has over-powered small business.
I am a Texan and am watching closely what happens in Oregon. It is a state that actually represents on a smaller scale where America is. An extreme left and a forgotten about middle or right side.
im gonna have to say drazen is a more reasonable MOTHER and the other two arent. to say abortion is ok up to birth and turning oregon into a tourist hotspot for murdering babies past viability is ridiculous and quite honestly kinda disgusting and f****ed up. if someone is willing to say that isnt wrong then i wouldnt put my trust in other things due to this huge lack of reasoning.
The woke in the middle chair is a joke and the same pill. It's Christine representing the true change but Johnson is an old school blue dog Democrat that deserves respect. Definitely between the only two grown ups on that stage!
Tina is the only candidate for governor that has the energy to deal with the problems we're faced with. I still haven't heard any ideas from Drazan....and she's been a rep for years. She can complain.....but no solutions. Tina has solutions.
Even thou the downfall of Portland. Started in the earlyv2000s . Ted wheeler Kate brown and kotek destroyed it. No chance for Oregon less come clean over Our sin. This is considered a wicked people
If the state is struggling with the people in charge, why would anyone vote to go down with the ship? Are people that much of followers that they can't think for themselves? You still want people killing others for no reason?
it is sad that not one of these women know about Primary water.. They all talked about secondary water.. Anytime a well is in place and working, then the neighbor comes along and puts in a well that take all your water, the law says that the person there first has grandfather rights to the water.. and if a farmer that irrigates with surface water (from canals) then a farmer comes along digs a well and takes the water, the water rights belong to the first farmer that was farming before the well water/sprinkler farmer... These women are really nescient to water rights.. As a governor, it is critical to be educated.. Learn about Primary water (ie: the john day river that all springs up from the ground) Pumped water from the aquifers is all secondary water.. Learn and stop spouting topics you are all clueless in..
Drazen's all platitudes. Notice none of them gave a solution when moderator gave them two opportunities. They all suck. I only got a few/sev minutes into it until I lost patience.
I don’t think so, it’s unfortunate that Johnson isn’t doing better. Cause lots of Ds who would vote for Johnson will vote Kotek cause they don’t like the direction of the state but also don’t want a Republican Governor, in the end Kotek PROBABLY narrowly wins
@@bobs3354 or maybe Tina Kotek wins because she just got more votes? Why is it whenever a candidate someone likes now loses it’s automatically fraud lmaooo
We don't want any more wacko extreme radical liberals like Kotek calling us white supremacists just cause we don't agree with her wacko extreme liberal ideas
All she talks about is abortion and LGTBQ and climate change which is turning off voters and so is her smug arrogant liberal attitude and calling us white supremacists just cause we don't agree with her wacko extreme liberal views

@@packergeek10 I wish we had rank-choice voting.
Any Political Party spends ten years messing up a beautiful city needs to be bumped our or the voters deserve what you get.
vote for change, chrisine drazan is far the best for oregon.
We NEED Christine Drazan !
@14:40 - Senator Johnson was more than ready to take this question on. Excellent answer & example.
Love how kotek talks small business but condoned antifa destruction if small businesses in portland
Isn't it crazy how Kotek is Pretending to all of a sudden have "Plans" for the city she helped torch to the ground
@@tpowell3776 no. It's not crazy at all considering the lies and sociopathic ideas she's put into motion.
Democrats lie. It’s just what they do; it’s who they are.
@@pridefulpragmatic2662 Kotek is the worse of the worst...
I’m from Seattle, don’t follow us, it will get even worse, vote Drazen please.
Go to Portland and see how "great" Tina Kotek and Kate Brown have been working for OR. They have made OR decline. Your rent, your utility bills, gas, groceries have gone up so drastically. More than ever, we need change. Kate and Tina have failed Oregon! Guys, Drazan is our new lady. Vote Drazan! 💯
Drazen is with the other "team" but she doesn't sound very substantial in this debate. Better than Kotex, obviously, but IMO Betsy Johnson took them both to school.
Drazen would be SUCH A HUGE BREATH OF FRESH AIR FOR OREGON.
DRAZEN is gonna be a great governor
If you cannot see both D and R agreeing with Johnson and how that shows exactly what Johnson is say when she say she will have the best of both sides of she is elected
I wish you were right. I like her too. It unfortunately looks like a vote for her is a waste of a vote. I do not want a R governor in Oregon
@@viiictoria I guess you enjoy crime and Democrat policies..you’re a clown and what’s wrong with this country
Tina Kotek is so cringe. Yikes.
Support republican values
Drazan is the only sane choice.
💯
DRAZEN has my vote ! ❤
Christine 👍🇺🇸🏁
CHRISTINE DRAZAN!! ‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸
After watching this, how is Kotek even a contender, let alone a front runner? It seems the other two were the only ones to say... anything
Well that's a silly question. She's with The Party.
She’s a contender because the corporate media are cheerleaders for the democrats.
Betsy would’ve been a badass atty.
I like both Johnson and Drazan. I think Betsy a little more But who ever is leading in the poles that can whoop Kotex A$$ is who I will vote for, The last thing Oregon needs is another destructive Dem… But I do worry about Betsy's health😟 she's not young, she's 71 years old and don't look too healthy, if she won and something happened to her, we would be stuck with an unknown Democrat Secretary of State for governor.😟That's how we got Brown🤢
Voting drazen and no on measure 114.
How could you feel good voting for Tina😂
Such a civil conversation.
DRAAAAAZZZZENNNNN!!!
No kotek
This is all you have to watch starting at @7:05 -- to understand why not to vote Kotek. This is a textbook canned answer.
So much of her responses were canned and fake
If you think Kotex is the best we can do then you should never vote again
Drazen for Governor! End the garbage!
@33:40 KTVZ the video cutout Betsy full closing remarks. ???
There is ANOTHER video with the entirety, just search for Decision 2022 Oregon gubernatorial debate Part 2
@@eriksutton87 Thank you.
I honestly think Johnson will and should win. I completely agree that the two parties are becoming more polarized and it will only hurt our economy and the soul of our state. Her opinions on important topics are simply more economical and morally sound. Except for her stance on higher education, honestly, we need to simply make that information and tests available to everyone not just lucky people who can get the few scholarships out there, people who can afford it, or people who are willing to go into life long debt just to get information that should be free.
We won't ever have a pro-life governor (who will work to remove choice), especially now, and Johnson is simply a better candidate than Kotek as far policies are concerned, we do need to focus on where our money goes and listening for the best solution even if it's from the other side.
killing kids up to birth is absolutely disgusting tho....
@@hh-hj9fn So is pulling the plug on someone who's on life support or war. If your going to be pro-life you've got to be pro-life. I also don't think anyone who is that far along would suddenly decide to abort instead of getting a C-section.
@@mcscrubington3120 I use to think like that to friend. But when your inner circle brainwashes you with surrounding ideology you do things you otherwise wouldn't do. Iv seen people say and do things outside their realm of understanding/ideology. For example it's like trans youth with hormones or surgery. Alot of people think no one would cut their genitals off unless they were sure but iv so far seeen many videos of young people regretting these very perminent decisions. When you surround someone with an ideology and fill someone's head with certain things they are more inclined to think that way and act that way. Idk how old you are but I am in my 20s and it's almost impossible for me to fully get someone to understand what I'm saying for I have lived through some of this ideological training. That's why we need statistics to be forced reported instead of voluntary, so we can know exactly as a society what is going on. Until their is clear evidence of this information we wont know and our living blindly. It's like when they say trust the science but they aren't giving you scientific information to work with. I can't trust the science with certain information than walk in the dark with pure emotion to form a opinion, it's illogical. Especially when their is institutions profiting of the suffering/mental illness of others with growth charts of profits their making of others.
Johnson has ZERO chance of winning. Gary Johnson should have won against Hillary and Trump, but he only got 1.5 million votes (I actually voted for him). This isn't a fairy tale book, it is stark reality. Johnson would be a better governor than Drazan, but Drazan will still be a good governor. Don't waste your vote, as a Kotek win would be the end of Oregon as we knew it, many years ago. Drazan can bring that back.
@@mcscrubington3120 war is disgusting. Not sure why were spending billions to find it in Ukraine.
Don’t watch this one. It gets cut off in the final statements. Scroll down to the 38 minute debate. It finishes with final statements.
As far as the water issue is concerned, I don't hear any of them talking about the rules/laws & regulation surrounding rainwater collection for individuals
Why would they say anything about it? State law allows residents to collect runoff from rooftops and store it in reservoirs, rain barrels, water tanks, or other containers
Yeah I was thinking that to!
Let’s go Brandon more like let’s go Tina
Wow! I didn’t realize Tina Kotex was such a vile person. This debate really showed that to me. Will definitely vote against her having any sort of control.
Had enough of failed Democrat policies?
Simple, Vote Republican!
"Portland Solutions" bugs me. I live in Portland. I own land and pay taxes here and my kids are PPS kids. Why take a cheap shot at the people you are trying to convince?
I interpreted it as Portland leadership, not average taxpayers. (?)
@@lorihagemeister9038 Yeah, I didn't. Why use divisive language and name calling?
Because Portland is trash and run by crazy people
Because "Portland" keeps voting for irrational people who are hurting all of us. Your city has more than earned the ire of the rest of the state. Your Mayor is a socialist, weak on crime, idiot who let antifa grow and spread across the state. Your voting hurts is all...so, yes Screw Portland!
It's the one size fits all bs that rural Oregon both on the coast along with east and central oregon are pissed about because it wrecks our local economy and puts our already low standard of living to new lows. That's why you have the Greater Idaho movement because Eastern Oregon has had enough of having ideas that aren't even theirs shoved down their throats and to add insult to injury support the tax burden of those ideas as well.
I came here because of a friend who watched these debates at another location. He was spot on when describing the three. Only ONE directly answered every question. Johnson. Tina's answer to nearly everything was to get more funding. Drazan doesn't provide enough real solutions to our issues....just pretty rhetoric. I'm voting for Betsy. She is the clear choice.
I like Betsy too. I’m registered independent and I align with her views. HOWEVER I know that she was funded by our local billionaires to siphon votes from democrats. If we end up with Kotek because of my vote, and my “lighting rod issues” are in jeopardy? I’d never forgive myself.
Sorry I said Kotez I mean Drazan
@@viiictoria From what I've seen, I think Johnson is pulling pretty evenly from both sides (can't believe I'm saying that exact sentence again after 2016).
If Johnson were pulling mostly from Drazen, that would imply that otherwise the Republicans would be absolutely steamrolling, by a margin that even Idaho and Wyoming don't often see. I just refuse to believe that Oregon is in that position. That's like a Democrat pulling a 20-point lead in Alabama. There's just no way.
Johnsons very strong here for everyone outside of portland Salem.
She doesn't have a chance in hell at winning.
Kotek is a fish out of water here. She's a slick corporate politician from the big city and she doesn't know fuck all about anything outside of that.
If kotek wanted to help these people she knows how and could get it done. But she doesn't, rural oregon doesn't have anything kotek wants and doesn't have any leverage to make kotek pay attention to them.
Drazan? She's at least from a small town but all her experience so far has been preventing portland progressives from ramming their insane fever dreams down our throats.
That's good, but it's not enough. Does she have any experience actually getting anything done?
I wish betsy had better poll numbers.
@@FirstName-nf4fx I'm over 60, and I have stopped voting "to keep someone else from winning". If Mrs. Johnson doesn't have a chance in hell at winning, it is because of the repeated rhetoric, that she doesn't have a chance. She does.....if people voted by who those women actually are. That is the failure of a two party system. I vote for the best candidate, regardless. When we all learn to do that, the best person to represent us will prevail.
In the past I’ve abstained from voting. However this election I will be voting for not Kelok. I saw an RV burning in the middle of a pond out on delta parkway.
Tina has no ideas
Absolutely disgusting, “the people have been so good to be quiet”. Oh we cannot have people react to and respectfully approve or disapprove with the candidate! Shut the people up! Take a flipping hike!
Pretty sure my friend still works for Intel in Hillsborough… So they didn’t “leave the state”. Maybe they developed additional manufacturing out of state, but they are still here.
They built their new fabs in Ohio and expanding new mexico/arizona.
Mostly, the state needs to get out of the way! Kotek is all about expanding gov't. The shut downs killed many small businesses! Kotek is part of the problem that has over-powered small business.
Agreed.
Vote for Tina “Status Quo” Tek if you like how things have been “progressing” in Oregon.
DRAZEN 🇺🇸 🦅
It sure did cut off!
I am a Texan and am watching closely what happens in Oregon. It is a state that actually represents on a smaller scale where America is. An extreme left and a forgotten about middle or right side.
Well said.
Tina Kotek = 👎
im gonna have to say drazen is a more reasonable MOTHER and the other two arent. to say abortion is ok up to birth and turning oregon into a tourist hotspot for murdering babies past viability is ridiculous and quite honestly kinda disgusting and f****ed up. if someone is willing to say that isnt wrong then i wouldnt put my trust in other things due to this huge lack of reasoning.
The woke in the middle chair is a joke and the same pill. It's Christine representing the true change but Johnson is an old school blue dog Democrat that deserves respect. Definitely between the only two grown ups on that stage!
Kotex isn't even from Oregon. Go home and try to be Governor there.
What do we call a republican who becomes a democrat who becomes an independent? A flip flopper?
You call that person Charlie Crist
Betsy Johnson has never been a Republican. She's just always been a more conservative Democrat.
republican lite
I don’t trust political weathervanes.
Run Betsy Run.
God, I love Betsy.
Tina is the only candidate for governor that has the energy to deal with the problems we're faced with. I still haven't heard any ideas from Drazan....and she's been a rep for years. She can complain.....but no solutions. Tina has solutions.
Please tell us about Tina’s solutions.
Even thou the downfall of Portland. Started in the earlyv2000s . Ted wheeler Kate brown and kotek destroyed it. No chance for Oregon less come clean over Our sin. This is considered a wicked people
If the state is struggling with the people in charge, why would anyone vote to go down with the ship? Are people that much of followers that they can't think for themselves? You still want people killing others for no reason?
This is a big brain debate!! Compared to a mens debate they all did extremely well
Sexist much?
32:58 vote NO to the status quo #ORGOP
it is sad that not one of these women know about Primary water.. They all talked about secondary water..
Anytime a well is in place and working, then the neighbor comes along and puts in a well that take all your water, the law says that the person there first has grandfather rights to the water.. and if a farmer that irrigates with surface water (from canals) then a farmer comes along digs a well and takes the water, the water rights belong to the first farmer that was farming before the well water/sprinkler farmer... These women are really nescient to water rights.. As a governor, it is critical to be educated.. Learn about Primary water (ie: the john day river that all springs up from the ground) Pumped water from the aquifers is all secondary water.. Learn and stop spouting topics you are all clueless in..
Drazen #1 Johnson # 2 #3 WOKE Tina is no leader of We The People.
Drazen's all platitudes. Notice none of them gave a solution when moderator gave them two opportunities. They all suck. I only got a few/sev minutes into it until I lost patience.
Well, one of them is going to be the next Governor, so……
Tina wins we all get free lollipops 😂🤣
Betsy is who I got!
Not Betsy. No
If Betsy were going to solve Oregon’s problems, she’d have done so by now during her decades of public employment.
Tiny is cringe city very Scary
Most questions were biased
no questions on crime which is winning point for Republicans
Don’t worry! Christine is doing well in polls! We’re gonna get her in!
Corporate media is in the tank for the dems.
I don’t think so, it’s unfortunate that Johnson isn’t doing better. Cause lots of Ds who would vote for Johnson will vote Kotek cause they don’t like the direction of the state but also don’t want a Republican Governor, in the end Kotek PROBABLY narrowly wins
It depends on who counts the votes in Multnomah county.
If the vote is fair, Drazan wins. If not……?
