Buehler is run- ning against the Democratic incumbent, Gov. Kate Brown who supports the law which bans local law enforcement from using public resources to arrest people whose only violation of the law is being in the country illegally, which is a civil offense rather than a crime.

An estimated 10,000 or more landlords will have to file business taxes for the first time as a result.
