Capital Bureau
president of client services,
said the results are weighted
to reflect the state’s electorate
makeup of different party
affiliations.
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

Half have unfavorable view of Gov. 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.

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.

Oregon vehicle manufacturer
tests driver assist on big rigs
BEND (AP) — A Port-
land-based manufacturer
of commercial vehicles is
performing trials on Oregon
highways of tractor-trailers
with driver-assist tech-
nology.
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.
