Announcement
Oregon Education Association has NO endorsement
The OEA, which endorsed Kotek in 2022 and donated about $389,000 to her cause, decided in March this year it would not endorse anyone in the governor’s race. That’s not completely unprecedented but it is unusual: Democratic candidates for governor typically get the group support.
The decision, as the Capital Chronicle reported at the time, came at a meeting of the group’s political action committee, where about 75% were said to have decided against an endorsement. There’s been no apparent reversal of position since. This is according to the article in the link.
