According to Drazan campaign spokesperson John Burke, it is included in a weekly ad purchase for over $1 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The spot points to Drazan\u2019s upbringing and calls out her opponent, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tina Kotek, as well as current Democratic Governor Kate Brown, while pointing to a positive future for the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the ad, Drazan speaks to the camera, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aCfEu7TXlPI&#038;t=1s&#038;ab_channel=ChristineforOregon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201cGrowing up in a small town, things weren\u2019t always easy, but we believed in Oregon. Lately though, leaders like Tina Kotek and Kate Brown have let us down. They just don\u2019t seem to get it. It\u2019s time for a change, like declaring homelessness the emergency that it is, getting politics out of our schools, and expanding school choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAnd let\u2019s make housing more affordable by making it easier to build,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI believe in Oregon,\u201d she concludes. \u201cAlways have, always will.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p class=\"p1\">Drazan has gained significant ground in recent polling, showing that a Republican win in an historically blue state is within reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">FiveThirtyEight\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/2022-election-forecast\/governor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forecast<\/a> shows the governor\u2019s race in Oregon as a toss-up, with Drazan now pulling ahead of Kotek. According to the projection, Drazan has a 52% chance of winning, while Kotek has a 48% chance at success. The site also <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/2022-election-forecast\/governor\/oregon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">showed<\/a> that Kotek was believed to have a better chance of success up until October 13, when the possibility of Drazan winning took over. The race includes a third-party candidate, Betsy Johnson, who used to serve in the legislature as a Democrat and could lend to a party split of the vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Homelessness has increasingly been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wweek.com\/news\/state\/2022\/10\/15\/all-three-candidates-for-oregon-governor-say-they-will-declare-a-state-of-emergency-on-homelessness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">problem<\/a> in the state, and recent DHM Research data revealed that 9 in 10 voters in Oregon view it as \u201ca very big problem.\u201d All of the candidates said they would issue a state of emergency over homelessness if elected, but Drazan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/qa-with-gop-oregon-gubernatorial-candidate-christine-drazan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told The Daily Wire<\/a> she would do so in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Safety is also a major issue, with one Portland Starbucks recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wweek.com\/news\/city\/2022\/10\/17\/starbucks-shop-in-pearl-district-will-close-permanently-on-friday-citing-safety-concerns\/?fbclid=IwAR3cFnOgX09RcKIbUMtpjXMSOx8fpnZzw0fSZ5QJp5xLyiYDmMYugqAE9aE\">announcing<\/a> it will be permanently shutting down because of worries over safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Drazan addressed the closure on Twitter, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristineDrazan\/status\/1582382752472895489\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stating<\/a>, \u201cWhen even coffee shops can\u2019t stay open in Portland for public safety concerns, something needs to change.

The Democratic candidate responded to Drazan\u2019s recent criticisms in her own ad, with a narrator saying Kotek said there should be a state of emergency declared on the homelessness issue in 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PH5aZ0WtfzA&#038;ab_channel=TinaforOregon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claiming<\/a> that \u201cthe only change [Drazan is] offering is a hard-Right turn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Drazan also recently gathered the support of Nike co-founder Phil Knight, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nike-co-founder-moves-support-to-gop-oregon-gubernatorial-candidate-with-1m-donation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gave<\/a> money to Johnson\u2019s campaign in the past, but switched over to Drazan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan is releasing a new ad discussing her dreams for a better Oregon.
