I stand by the determination of the experts in the Oregon Elections Division that Mr. Kristof does not currently meet the Constitutional requirements to run or serve as Oregon Governor,\u201d Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/newsroom\/Pages\/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=64720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Oregon\u2019s chief elections official, it is my responsibility to make sure all candidates on the statewide ballot are qualified to serve if elected. The Oregon Elections Division and local election officials use the same standards to determine qualifications for hundreds of candidates in dozens of offices every year. In this instance, the candidate clearly does not meet the constitutional requirement to run or serve as governor of Oregon,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement noted that Kristof could choose to appeal the state\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Mr. Kristof chooses to appeal, the Oregon Elections Division is committed to doing everything possible to allow \u202fOregon courts\u202fto decide\u202fpromptly,\u201d Deborah Scroggin, Oregon Elections Director, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy office remains focused on ensuring a fair process and meeting our March 17th deadline, after which clerks begin printing ballots. While the primary election is in May, for Oregon\u2019s elections administrators, the work begins much sooner,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/588589-kristof-ineligible-to-run-for-oregon-governor-state-official-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> reported, \u201cKristof, who owns homes in both New York and Oregon, voted in New York in the 2020 election, putting him past the deadline to establish residency in Oregon ahead of the 2022 midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kristof reportedly left the Times in October in preparation for his run for governor in Oregon\u2019s Democratic primary. In addition to serving at the Times, Kristof has been a regular CNN contributor and is the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes.<\/p>\n<p>In December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2021\/12\/21\/oregon-nick-kristof-residency-requirement-run-for-governor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oregon Public Broadcasting<\/a> reported that questions remained regarding Kristof\u2019s eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe typically determine whether candidates meet residency requirements by checking their voter registration records, but your Oregon voter registration record has insufficient information,\u201d Lydia Plukchi, a compliance specialty with the office, wrote in a letter to Kristof, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, it has come to our attention that you voted in New York State as recently as 2020. Our office has reviewed the published legal memo concerning your residency in Oregon, but the memo does not address the effect of that vote on your Oregon residency,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>Kristof announced his bid as the state\u2019s next governor in a video on October 27.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A quarter of the kids on my old No. 6 school bus in rural Oregon are dead from drugs, alcohol, suicide, and there are No. 6 buses all over the state and country.
