ideas coming out of a Republican,
instead of seeing an accountant
giving financial speeches. They
don’t see it coming from the heart,
and that’s the difference.”
Last July, Atkinson was
wounded seriously in an accidental
shooting, and is still in physical
therapy and walking with a cane.
But the injury and recovery have
given him time to reflect on his
future and his priorities.
“I think it certainly makes you
stand back just a little bit and view
why you do the things that you
do,” said Atkinson. “I believe in
public service like I never have. I
think after the accident, my focus is
a lot more precise.”
Atkinson describes himself as
a “hands-on legislative person.” He
touts his experience negotiating
with two Democratic governors
during the past decade, as well as
his work on renewable energy stan-
dards and tax reform.
Also lining up for Atkinson is
the fact that his ally, Bob Tiernan,
has taken the ORP helm. His other
friend, former Maryland Gov.
Steele, is chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee.
Atkinson said that those con-
nections may serve him well in a
contested primary against Alley.
“His strength as a candidate is
the fact that he has Ron Saxton’s
campaign team,” said Atkinson.
“That’s good. His weaknesses are,
he’s never worked an election be-
fore and served. He was the deputy
chief of staff to the governor, who
did a whole bunch to harm rural
Oregon,” Atkinson said.
“I wish him the best of luck,
but I believe the campaign is wide
open.”
There’s also the experience
Atkinson gained during the 2006
race.
“I learned a lot about tactics
and learned a lot about the impor-
tance of running for the right rea-
sons,” he said. “I think those les-
sons and that discipline has given
me a certain edge that would be, I
think, very valuable.”
Atkinson said that in terms of
the Democratic primary, he sees
Bradbury emerging as the winner
of a hotly contested election.
“He’s got the edge and has the
team in place,” said Atkinson. “I
think he reflects a very far left De-
mocratic Party that will put that
kind of candidate up. He was the
guy that was the most partisan sec-
retary of state we’ve ever seen. I
would be very motivated to take
him on in the general campaign.”
The Legislature is currently in
session in Salem, which will keep
Atkinson plenty busy during the
next few months. But once the
final gavel falls, it’s entirely possi-
ble that Atkinson may gear up to
hit the campaign trail in earnest
and try and break Oregon Republi-
cans’ lengthy losing streak.
“I think there’s a real opportu-
nity for a balanced candidate with
experience who is also representing
a new generation to come out
strong and win,” he said. “I think
the same old Republican isn’t go-
ing to win statewide, but I think
that a new generation can win.”
