Brown looks ahead to four more years
Governor fends
off Buehler
By TROY BRYNELSON
Capital Bureau
On
Tuesday
night,
Gov. Kate Brown ended a
record-breaking year for cam-
paign spending and anticipat-
ing what could be her last four
years in public office.
The Democrat defeated
Republican Knute Buehler, an
orthopedic surgeon and state
legislator from Bend, in a race
that was decided quickly after
balloting ended.
Her re-election means a
continuing press on environ-
mental issues and on educa-
tion. With no campaign ahead
of her, she faces a term with a
firmer hold on the office and
less of a need to grasp political
advantage.
The two spent more than
$30 million combined in their
bids for Oregon’s top job,
marked by major donations to
Buehler from Nike co-founder
Phil Knight.
Brown, from a lectern at
the Hilton Portland Down-
town, told supporters that vot-
ers showed how elections in
Oregon aren’t all about who

raises the most money.
“No one person should
be able to buy the governor’s
office,” Brown said to cheers.
Buehler told supporters at
the Sentinel Hotel in Portland
that he was as disappointed as
they were.
“My voice will not be lead-
ing this state for the next four
years and I certainly accept
that decision,” he said. “But
let’s also be very clear: the
status quo in this state is not
tolerable.”
Polls leading into Novem-
ber showed the two candidates
virtually neck and neck. In her
victory speech, Brown said her
stances on education, afford-
able housing and health care
won over Oregonians.
“This election shows that
when Oregonians are given
an opportunity to invest in our
classrooms, to build affordable
housing, to protect health care,
it’s not a toss-up. It’s not even
a close call,” she said.
But, afterward, Brown con-
ceded she worried it could
have been much closer.
“I knew the race was going
to be close, and thought it
would be close all along, but to
take this solid of a lead made
me really happy,” she said.
Victory secured Brown a
second term as governor. She
succeeded to the job in 2015
after the resignation of former
Gov. John Kitzhaber. Brown,
58, then won a special election
in 2016 to fill out the remain-
der of Kitzhaber’s term.
It also secured Brown a
governance with a Demo-
cratic supermajority, as the
party seized at least three seats
in the state House by Tuesday
night.
“It’s just really cool to be
able to pick up races in the
state House and the Senate
and really be able to make a
huge difference over the next
two years in Oregon, and keep
Oregon moving forward,”
Brown said.
Brown’s victory was lauded
by environmental groups and
some unions. Doug Moore,
executive director of the Ore-
gon League of Conservation
Voters, said Brown’s re-elec-
tion kept the climate in good
hands.
“Climate change was on
the ballot, and climate change
won with Kate Brown,” he
said.
Joe Baessler, political
director for Oregon’s Amer-
ican Federation of State,
County
and
Municipal
Employees, which represents
government workers, said
Brown’s leadership is better
for affordable housing initia-
tives and public employees.
“She didn’t get enough
credit for it, but she had a litany
of great accomplishments,”
Baessler said, noting that he
hoped to see strong progres-
sive policies in Brown’s next
term. “We have agencies that
are barely able to accomplish
the tasks they’re mandated to
because they don’t have the
resources.”
Brown appeared ready to
get started on her next term
during her victory speech.
She said as much as she was
flanked by two dozen school-
children and her husband.
“Make no mistake. The
fight isn’t over. We’ve still
got lots of work to do,” she
said. “We’ve never had some-
one so divisive in the White
House or someone with such
less respect for the truth or for
the people impacted by his
decisions.”
In the weeks before the
election, Brown outlined sev-
eral directions she would take
in a second term — hoping to
bolster education, combat cli-
mate change, reduce home-
lessness and more.
Brown, who started her
career in 1991 and has run
for office eight times, said she
does not plan to run again in
2022. She said she wants to
spend more time with her hus-
band, Dan Little, and do things
that make her happy.
Oregon voters block sanctuary law repeal, grocery tax ban
By CLAIRE
WITHYCOMBE
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Oregonians on
Tuesday blocked attempts to
overturn the state’s sanctuary
law and affirmed public fund-
ing for reproductive health
care, holding onto its status as a
socially liberal state.
In so doing, voters rejected
socially conservative priorities
by large margins.
They also roundly rejected
fiscally conservative measures
that attempted to restrict tax
increases, opening the door for
broader tax reform in the 2019
legislative session.
Voters rejected Measure
103, which would have banned
taxes on groceries, and turned
away Measure 104, which
would have required a three-
fifths majority vote in the Leg-
islature on certain tax-related
measures.
Under that measure, law-
makers — 60 percent in both

the state House and Senate —
would have had to vote “yes” to
approve changes to tax credits,
exemptions and deductions, or
fee increases.
The liberal coalition Our
Oregon claimed that the state
in this election defended itself
from out-of-state interests.
“By rejecting Measures
103 and 104, Oregonians came
together to defend our values
from outside special interests
who tried to increase their prof-
its at the expense of Oregon
families,” Becca Uherbelau, the
executive director of Our Ore-
gon, said in a statement. “Voters
once again made a statement for
all of Oregon’s leaders to hear:
we want strong investments in
health care and education.”
Proponents of Measure 104
said the measure’s complicated
ballot title presented an insur-
mountable challenge.
“The complicated and con-
fusing ballot title was just
too much to overcome,” said
Shawn Cleave, government
affairs director for the Ore-
gon Association of Realtors,
in a statement. “Our coalition
will continue to fight to protect
important deductions like the
mortgage interest and property
tax deductions that keep home-
ownership affordable for many
of our friends and neighbors.”
Measure 105 would have
overturned a state law that pro-
hibits local police from using
resources to apprehend people
whose only violation of law is
being in the country without
legal permission.
Supporters of the mea-
sure challenged a law that has
been in place since 1987. It was
designed to prevent racial pro-
filing by police.
“It reaffirms the feeling that
Oregon is a welcoming state,”
said Levi Herrera-Lopez, exec-
utive director of Mano a Mano,
a community organization in
Salem that primarily serves
Latino families.
Herrera-Lopez joined many
Mano a Mano staff knock-
ing on doors urging people to
vote “no” on the measure. He
said the results validate what
they heard from voters on the
ground.
“Us immigrants, we’re seen
as people who can contribute to
the community,” he said. “The
rhetorical significance of invad-
ers doesn’t hold ground here in
Oregon.”
The measure prompted a
divide within the state’s law
enforcement
community,
with 16 largely rural sheriffs
— including Clatsop County
Sheriff Tom Bergin — sup-
porting the measure. Other offi-
cials spoke out against it pub-
licly, including Multnomah
County Sheriff Mike Reese
and Deschutes County District
Attorney John Hummel.
The measure demonstrated
the renewed interest in immi-
gration policy under President
Donald Trump.
Voters also blocked Mea-
sure 106, which was mounted
by an anti-abortion group that
wanted to ban public funding
for most abortions.
Abortion-rights advocates
were buoyant about the results.
“Together, we made sure
that Oregon voters saw Mea-
sure 106 for what it was: a
backdoor ban on abortion,” said
Grayson Dempsey, executive
director of NARAL Pro-Choice
Oregon’s political action com-
mittee. “In Oregon, we trust
women to make their own
decisions — and a right is not
a right if you cannot afford to
access it.”
Amid a statewide hous-
ing crisis, Oregonians also
approved a measure that allows
local governments to use public
bond money for private hous-
ing projects.
“Housing is affecting every-
body, whether it’s our workers
at (Oregon Health & Science
University) who are getting
priced out of Portland or work-
ers in Pendleton who are wor-
ried about finding housing,”
said Joe Baessler, political
director for Oregon’s American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, which
represents government work-
ers. “It took me by surprise how
strongly our members felt about
that measure.”
The measure requires local
voters’ approval of any such
bonds, annual audits and public
reporting on how the borrowed
funds are spent.
