SALEM — Salem physi-
cian Bud Pierce has won the
Republican nomination for
Oregon governor.
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

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.

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.

Council lifts EOCI
work crew ban
East Oregonian
The Pendleton City
Council repealed a nearly
30-year-old ban on Eastern
Oregon Correctional Institu-
tion inmates working inside
city limits.
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.
