PORTLAND, Ore. — Former Oregon House Republican Leader Christine Drazanannounced Tuesday that she will be running for governor. Rep. Drazan is adding her name to a growing list of Republican candidates running for the governor’s seat. She stepped down as House Republican leader in late 2020, ahead of the announcement. “Over the past few months, I’ve been encouraged by friends and supporters to consider running for Governor,” Drazan previously told KATU News in a statement.
