    Has anyone seen a Tina Kotek ad? I'm out of state at the moment, but before I left I saw a TON of Drazen and Johnson ads, but nothing from Kotek. Which seems odd, as I wouldn't expect her to be short on cash.

    They started picking up after the Labor Day weekend. I'm trying to avoid local network TV with all of the ads in an attempt to maintain my sanity.

    I’ve met both Tina and Betsy. Both came to my workplace. Both are solid people with a the very best intentions for the State. They do have differing ideas about how to get there.
    I was impressed with Tina and her overall knowledge on not just Portland but the civic divide in the state. I liked her ideas on how to bridge those issues.
    Betsy was less articulate about the issues facing both Portland and the Rural areas but I have no doubt she is capable of getting better educated on those issues.
    Drazen has declined to make an attempt to work with us or even communicate. Maybe she will reconsider?

    I don't like any of the candidates. I'm scared Betsy and Tina will split enough that Drazan wins. She is running and saying all the right things about crime and homeless clean up that resonates with people. Her big downfall that gives me hope she doesn't win is she is so Pro life I couldn't imagine Oregon moderates end up voting for her.

    I'll likely be voting for Tina and crossing my fingers. But, I don't have a ton of confidence in Tina.

    I can totally see Betsy being outside the box, or batshit crazy, as you said.

    I think Brown is a duck fan, Tina may be too!
    There is zero separation between Sport & State.

    I see zero chance of a significant swath of would-be dem voters going for Betsy. She's going to hurt Drazen much more than Kotek.

    Agreed. And Oregon will continue on its path of insanity.

    No, it's woke libtard teachers encouraging their students to identify as cats and use litterboxes in the classroom.
