No one filed in the Republican primary in Oregon to run for Attorney General. This is especially good news for Oregon’s Working Families Party. The Oregon WFP is ballot-qualified, but since its registration is quite small, it will go off the ballot if it doesn’t run anyone for one of the statewide offices. WFP hates to injure Democratic nominees, generally. But in the Attorney General’s race, the WFP can now run its own candidate without worrying that it will injure the Democratic nominee.
Thanks to Politics1 for the news about the lack of a Republican in the Oregon race.
The WFP are Democrats. The point of these Democrats having a separate political party has always been a mystery to me? I assume it has to do with personal power trips of the leadership?
