In November he will face Democrat nominee Gov. Kate Brown, who was elevated to the Governor’s Ofice when John Kitzhaber resigned last year. The winner will serve the two years remaining in Kitzhaber’s term. “Tonight’s victory is the result of incredible teamwork and the hard work of many ine people,” he said. Pierce defeated former state GOP chairman Allen Alley, the next highest vote getter in a ield of ive. “Oregonians are tired of empty political promises and puppet leaders who are at the beck and call of powerful interests in our state enriching the connected and powerful and impoverishing the people,” Pierce said. “Selma and I have listened to the people’s hopes and dreams and aspirations and we are committed to helping To make those dreams come true.” Alley told Pierce he will support him for his run for governor. “I would like to thank the citizens of Oregon for supporting me,” Alley said. “I have had some amazing experiences walking across the state and meeting the people of the state, and I had a terriic message to juxtapose against Kate Brown’s.” “I regret not being able to take on Kate Brown,” he said. Alley said Pierce’s campaign outspent his and traveled more around the state.“He ran a better primary race, and the results show he ran a better primary race,” Alley said. With experience in state government and as a candi- date for statewide ofice, Alley, 61, was the presumed frontrunner in the race for the nomination. The Lake Oswego businessman served as deputy chief of staff for former Gov. Ted Kulongoski and chaired the Oregon Republican Party. But Pierce, 59, invested more than $1 million into his campaign to reach out to voters. When the Salem oncologist entered the race, he had almost no name recog- nition and no experience as an elected oficial. Alley, in contrast, had sought the GOP nomination for governor in 2010 and for state treasurer in 2008. Brown earned the Demo- cratic nomination with 84 percent of the vote. She defeated Ashland physician SALEM — Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian appears to have won the Democratic primary for Oregon secre- tary of state. As of 10:15 p.m., Avakian had 39 percent of the vote leading state Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Eugene, who had 33 percent and state Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, with 27 percent, according to unoficial vote totals. The Associated Press called the race for Avakian. Former state Rep. Dennis Richardson appeared to be winning the Republican primary with nearly 77 percent, and was declared the winner by The Asso- ciated Press. Lane County Commissioner Sid Leiken had 23 percent of the vote, according to unoficial totals. Avakian and Richardson will face each other in the November general election. Richardson said Tuesday night that he was ready to campaign against Avakian based on their different views on the role of the secretary of state. “Brad Avakian wants to investigate and go after private businesses,” Rich- ardson said, referring to Avakian’s plan to have state auditors begin investigating complaints against state contractors. “My opinion is the secretary of state should be rolling out the red carpet to businesses in other states and countries, as well as in Oregon.” Richardson said the Audits Division in the Secretary of State’s Ofice is supposed to review state programs in order to “show that the people’s money is well spent and (Avakian’s) approach will be to ignore the waste that is taking place in public departments and programs and go after private businesses.” Avakian, who fought to set himself apart as the most progressive politician in the Democratic primary, could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. In a press release statement, Avakian’s campaign manager Brad Pyle described Richardson as an “extreme right wing” politician. The Democratic primary remained contentious up until the 8 p.m. Tuesday election deadline, as the candidates increasingly went on the attack in an attempt to gain a lead in the tight race. Early on, Hoyle and Devlin critiqued Avakian for promising to create renewable energy and civics education programs, which are outside the secre- tary of state’s role of chief elections oficer, auditor and archivist. Recently, Avakian and Devlin attacked Hoyle for accepting a $250,000 dona- tion in April from billion- aire gun control advocate 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front high low Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 97° in Edinburg, Texas Low 20° in Baraga, Mich.

Liz Accola Meunier, a spokeswoman for Brown’s campaign, said the governor had been focused on governing and serving the state but would now begin ramping up her campaign to defeat Pierce. “Tonight, we are happy with the results on our side, and the governor is really looking forward to talking about her vision for moving the state forward and looking forward to having a chance to talk about her vision, and we believe when voters gets a chance to compare her to her opponent that they will choose her,” Meunier said. Michael Bloomberg. Avakian’s campaign accused Devlin of accepting campaign donations from groups that beneited inancially from legislation Devlin championed. And a week before the primary, Hoyle also faced an attack ad by the Humane Society that took her to task for killing a 2015 bill that would have banned sales of ivory and rhino tusks in Oregon. Earlier this month, a poll commissioned by OPB and Fox 12 showed the three Democrats were in a dead heat. Avakian was expected to win 21 percent of the vote, Hoyle was second with 16 percent and Devlin had 13 percent, a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percent. Most of the remaining Democrats in the poll were undecided.

While Mayor Phillip Houk said previous attempts to overturn the ban illed the council chambers with public opposition, everyone who testiied Tuesday night urged the council to lift it. “It was a different world then,” Houk said. Almost all of the nine people who spoke in favor of EOCI work crews were associated with the prison in some way, many of them former or current employees. Between those nine people, they talked about the thoroughness of the work crew screening process, the rarity of job site walk-offs and how prison labor can beneit both the inmate and the community. Bryan Branstetter, an EOCI correctional oficer and a former city councilor, said Oregon voters passed Measure 17, which requires state prisons to engage inmates with work opportu- nities and training. “There’s only so much work you can do inside the fence. It doesn’t matter how good you are,” he said. Several current and former correctional workers recalled how some inmates used work crew and voca- tional program experience to gain employment after their release. The council didn’t need much convincing — shortly after Houk closed the public hearing, the council unani- mously passed a resolution lifting the ban. Under the resolution, EOCI will give the city a start date for when inmate work crews will begin working in Pendleton. A year after EOCI starts sending work crews out into the city, the city is required to evaluate the program.
