Oregon Independent Party Gubernatorial Primary

Oregon held primaries on May 15 for the Republican, Democratic, and Independent Parties. In the Independent Party primary, the three strongest candidates for Governor were Knute Buehler (who is the Republican nominee), Kate Brown (the Democratic nominee), and Patrick Starnes, a member of the Independent Party. Starnes’ name was printed on the primary ballot, but candidates who are members of other parties were forced to be write-in candidates in the Independent Party primary.

Most counties still haven’t released their write-in totals, but Clackamas and Marion Counties have done so. Based on the vote in those two counties, it is overwhelmingly likely that Starnes won the primary. Thanks to Dan Meek for this information.
