Chris Dudley announces Governor run

By Oregon Campaign Watch,

Oregon NBA star Chris Dudley has announced his run for Governor in the Republican Primary.

Below is his speech text and video:

“I love Oregon and even though we have some serious problems, there are solutions and I believe our best days are ahead of us. However, in order to solve these challenges, the empty promises, the name calling, fingerpointing, and fear-mongering that has solved nothing must stop. You deserve better. We are a state with a beautiful, diverse landscape and diverse people. I believe it’s one of the things that makes us so special. I have traveled around the state and met with people who shared a variety of opinions, stories, and challenges. Yet, what I found to be most encouraging is why I’m standing here today. What they all had in common is a love of our great state and a desire for these same things.Quality education, safety, affordability, and a good job. These are achievable. There are real solutions. And I have a plan. That’s why I’m asking you today to stand up for Oregon and stand with me as I announce my candidacy for governor of our great state. Together, we can create a better Oregon for all.”
