Race background

See also: Resignation of Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber

Incumbent John Kitzhaber previously served as Governor of Oregon from 1995 to 2003 and was running for a fourth non-consecutive term in 2014. He highlighted taxes and job creation.[4][5]

Republican opponent Dennis Richardson and his supporters highlighted a false start for the state's Cover Oregon health exchange that reportedly cost taxpayers $250 million.[6]

Kitzhaber also drew criticism over potential conflicts of interest by first lady and advisor Cylvia Hayes. Richardson echoed these concerns. Kitzhaber requested an investigation by the Oregon Government Ethics Commission into whether Hayes leveraged her role in the governor's office to improve her consulting business.[6] The seven-member ethics commission had no scheduled meetings prior to the November 4 general election.[7] To read more about the story, click here.
