Poll: GOP primary for governor getting closer
Carpenter
closes gap with
Rep. Buehler
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — A new poll
by a Democratic polling firm
suggests Sam Carpenter, the
“Make Oregon Great Again”
candidate, is edging up to state
Rep. Knute Buehler in the race
for the Republican nomination
for governor.
The survey by Global
Strategy Group of 438 regis-
tered voters who plan to vote
in the GOP primary shows
that 33 percent planned to vote
for Buehler, while 25 percent
favored Carpenter. Only 8 per-
cent of respondents said they
would vote for Greg Wool-
dridge, a retired Navy aviator
who lives in Portland. Thir-
ty-three percent of respon-
dents in the survey, taken
Sam Carpenter
Knute Buehler
this month, said they were
either undecided or refused to
answer.
The particularly conten-
tious primary race will be
decided Tuesday, and the win-
ner will face off with Gov.
Kate Brown, a Democrat.
“This is surprising that it
has become a race for Bue-
hler,” said Jim Moore, politi-
cal science professor at Pacific
University and director of the
Tom McCall Center for Pol-
icy Innovation. “It’s entirely
because Buehler ran a cam-
paign that didn’t seem to pay
attention to the Republican
electorate and now is having
to play catch-up.”
Rebecca Tweed, Buehler’s
campaign manager, dismissed
the significance of the new
poll.
“From the beginning,
Knute Buehler has been
focused on defeating Kate
Brown and talking to Orego-
nians all across this state who
are ready for change,” Tweed
wrote in an email. “There
have been dozens of polls in

People will be able to fish,
crab or clam for free in Oregon
on June 2 and June 3.
For those two days, the
state will not require residents
and nonresidents to have fish-
ing licenses or tags. Other
fishing regulations still apply,
however, including closures,
bag limits and size restrictions.
“Free fishing weekends are
a great opportunity for friends
and families to get out and
enjoy a day or two of fishing,”
said Mike Gauvin, recreational
fisheries manager with the
Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife, in a statement.
“Trout, warmwater fish, ocean
fishing, crabbing and clam-
ming are just some of the great
opportunities available.”
The state schedules events
at various sites in conjunction
with free fishing days. Volun-
teer angler instructors will be
on hand, loaning out fishing
gear and giving tips on how
to catch and clean fish at most
sites. Two events have been
scheduled locally: at Coffen-
bury Lake on June 2 from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m., and at the Gnat
Creek Fish Hatchery near
Clatskanie from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.
Oregon State Parks are also
free to visit over this weekend.
Day-use parking fees will be
waived both days, and camp-
ing will be free on June 2. An
$8 reservation fee is required
to guarantee a camping spot.

at least 10 percent, and that
is why the attack ads are out
there,” Carpenter said. “If he
had been leading, the attack
ads wouldn’t have happened.
We are quite confident in
where we are and that is why
we haven’t responded. The ads
have helped our campaign.”
The Global Strategy Group
poll results also showed that
82 percent of the respondents
believe Brown is doing a “not
so good” to “poor” job as the
state’s chief executive.
About 98 percent of the
respondents were white. Half
were men, and half were
women. About 34 percent
of participants had a college
degree.
The three Republican can-
didates are scheduled to par-
ticipate in their first and last
debate together on the Lars
Larson radio show today.

primary. The Bend orthope-
dic surgeon, who has served
in the House since 2014, pre-
viously had focused on defeat-
ing the governor once he won
the nomination.
“When he ran ads against
Sam Carpenter, that tells
me that internal polling told
them that they are in trouble,”
Moore said. “He was running
against Kate Brown before
that. That was it, and all of a
sudden, ‘Oh, I have to win this
primary.’ The Trump backers
and Sam Carpenter seem to
be the main problem and that
is why he is attacking Sam
Carpenter.”
The poll results are an addi-
tional piece of evidence to ads
online and on TV in which
Buehler and Carpenter “are at
each other throats” and shows
“that Buehler really has not
locked this up,” said Jeanne
Atkins, chairwoman of the
Democratic Party of Oregon.
“Our internal polls show
us leading Knute Buehler by

this election with conflicting
and contradicting numbers
— the only poll that matters
takes place on Tuesday. This
is a left-leaning polling firm
releasing data to help Kate
Brown because they know
Knute Buehler is the only can-
didate who can defeat her.”
Carpenter also questioned
the accuracy of the poll, saying
his internal polling shows he is
ahead of Buehler. He said the
poll’s sample size was small,
and residents from urban areas
were oversampled.
It’s unclear who commis-
sioned the poll.
Politico first obtained and
published the results. The
results also were sent to the
Democratic Party of Oregon,
which shared it with Ore-
gon-based reporters.
The poll comes days after
Buehler launched a new ad
attacking Carpenter, a move
that, political analysts said,
showed that Buehler realized
he might be in trouble in the

False tsunami warning jolts West Coast, Alaska
Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska — Some
Alaskans got a jolt when they
heard an emergency radio
and television broadcast indi-
cating the entire West Coast,
from San Diego to Alaska’s
Aleutian Islands, was under a
tsunami threat.
Only at the end of the mes-
sage sent early this morning
did it indicate the alert was a
test.
The National Tsunami
Warning Center says there is
no tsunami threat.
The tsunami center says it
issued a routine test message
at 7 a.m. the same way all
tests are sent. Typically, the
message says it’s a test at the
beginning.
It’s not clear why the
version heard by Alaskans
didn’t say it was a test until
the end.
The warning center told
KTVA warning sirens may be
going off in coastal areas.
