Political pundits see the results as a bad sign for the Republican challenger, an orthopedic surgeon who was elected as a state repre- sentative in 2014. Buehler also challenged Brown in 2012 for her then position as Oregon secretary of state. When Oregonians were asked their preferred Republican to face off with Brown, a majority chose a Republican who hasn’t even filed as a candidate and has had no media attention. About 31 percent of respondents said Greg Wool- dridge, a former commander of the Navy’s Blue Angels, is their preferred GOP candi- date. Meanwhile, only 28 percent identified Buehler as their preferred choice. Wooldridge is familiar to conservative circles, where he has served as a delegate to the National Republican Convention, but is lesser 3 0 known outside of his party. Wooldridge is considering a bid for the Republican nomination and has met with several former gubernatorial candidates and political consultants. He would run as a conservative alternate to Buehler’s more moderate platform, said one political strategist. Happy Valley Mayor Lori Chavez DeRemer, who is still exploring a gubernatorial bid, was named by 8 percent of respondents. Another 6 percent gave names of “other” candidates, and 26 percent were undecided. “It means simply, people don’t know who these candi- dates are,” Moore said. “We know they don’t know who Knute Buehler is because somebody who is nobody is polling better than him.” Buehler’s mistake may have come from failing to tour the state and introduce himself when he announced his intention to run for the office in August, Moore said. “He clearly needs to start to doing that stuff so he is th Anniversary Celebration!

Brown, but would re-elect her over opponent Buehler A survey paid for by icitizen shows half of Oregonians have an unfavorable view of Gov. Kate Brown, but would reelect the incumbent by a narrow margin. 10s National Summary: Much of the eastern and western quarters of the nation will be sunny today. Downpours will soak South Florida, parts of the Plains and the Upper Midwest. Snow is forecast to end slowly over the Rockies. ICITIZEN POLL SALEM — Half of Oregonians view Gov. Kate Brown unfavorably yet would reelect her by a narrow margin if the election was conducted now, according to an online survey by pollster Nashville-based icitizen. Forty percent said they would vote for Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, to unseat the first-term governor, the survey shows. The survey of 645 respon- dents, paid for by icitizen, is the first glimpse into the mindset of Oregonians more than a year before the November 2018 gubernato- rial election. Jim Moore, director of the Tom McCall Center for Policy Innovation at Pacific University, said the responses to Brown are unsurprising. “While she is a fairly popular governor, she hasn’t really done anything to put her name on,” Moore said. “Clearly, this is a message for her campaign to commu- nicate what she has done that makes her worthy to be governor again.” The respondents — part of a “convenience panel” of Oregonians icitizen uses for online polls — were not confirmed as registered voters, said Cynthia Villacis, the company’s polling director. Favorable opinions for Brown were stronger in the Portland Metro area and the Willamette Valley, 45 percent and 55 percent, respectively. In the rest of the state, only 37 percent of respondents said they had a favorable opinion of her, while 62 percent gave unfavorable feedback. Out of all respondents, 341 were members of the GOP. In Oregon, only 26.7 percent of registered voters are Republican, 29.5 percent are unaffiliated and 36.7 percent are Democrat, according to the most recent statistics from the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office. “That sounds to me as if (icitizen) oversampled Republicans,” Moore said. Leslie Rich, a senior vice 0s showers t-storms Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau -0s at 60 or 70 percent” as the preferred Republican candi- date, Moore said. Rebecca Tweed, Buehler’s campaign manager, did not respond to a request for comment. Thomas Wheatley, the governor’s campaign manager, didn’t comment on the results specific to Brown. However, he said the survey looks like “a Republican effort to cook the books against Knute Buehler.” “It’s not a voter poll; it’s a membership survey, and the key finding from it that is intriguing is that they put forward this Air Force captain and gave him the right framing and he came out ahead of Knute Buehler,” Wheatley said. “The question is — Who paid for it, and why are they trying to show Buehler is vulnerable in a Republican primary? That is the most intriguing thing here.” The survey was funded by icitizen, which regularly takes the pulse of residents on political and policy issues, Rich said.

Daimler Trucks North America is testing the same technology that keeps cars in their own lanes and provides automatic braking on its big rigs. Daimler publicized its trials last week at the 2017 North America Commercial Vehicle Show in Atlanta, The Bend Bulletin reported. Daimler is pairing two of its Cascadia trucks to see how they perform together and what fuel efficiencies they achieve. The trials could result in running as many as five trucks together, a practice called platooning. “What they’re testing is truck platooning with a driver-assist system,” said Andrew Dick, the connected, automated and electric vehicle adviser at the Oregon Department of Transportation. “Drivers are always at the wheel. The system is closely coor- dinating the acceleration and braking systems on the two vehicles so that they’re capable of safely trav- eling at a close following distance, maybe 45 feet.” The road trials take place primarily on Inter- state 84 between Portland and Pendleton. The trucks carry a banner to inform other motorists the trial is underway, Dick said. The two vehicles communicate automat- ically, by short-range radio, a system called vehicle-to-vehicle commu- nications, or V2V, that allows the lead truck to automatically signal the trailing truck when it brakes or accelerates.
