Oregon State Senator Christine Drazan is running for governor a second time. She lost to Governor Tina Kotek in 2022.
Drazan made the announcement at a northwest Portland shipyard warehouse. She promises to improve student test scores, cut taxes and streamline construction permits.
Kotek has not yet filed for re-election. The deadline is March third.
Drazan joins Danielle Bethell, Kyle Duyck, Patrick Kopke-Hales and Robert Neuman in the Republican primary.
