"You know, this race this year is really about leadership. It's a pretty simple conversation that we're having with Oregonians. Are you better off today than you were ten years ago before Democrats took control of everything?" Drazan, a former minority leader in the Oregon House of Representatives, said when asked why she felt her campaign would win in a state that hasn't elected a Republican governor in decades.
"Things are more expensive here; taxes are higher; our schools are among the worst in the nation. We have among the highest numbers for homelessness and addiction with the lowest level of access to recovery services. And our crime numbers have gone through the roof," she added.
