Nineteen candidates are running in the Republican primary on May 17, 2022, for governor of Oregon. Incumbent Kate Brown (D) is term-limited and cannot run for re-election.

Oregon's last five governors have been Democrats, but John Horvick, senior vice president at DHM Research, an opinion research firm based in Oregon, said there is a chance for a Republican to win in 2022. “[Since 2002], the average margin of victories has only been 5 percentage points.^[1]^[2]

Christine Drazan, Bud Pierce, and Stan Pulliam have led in fundraising and media coverage.^[1]

Pierce is an oncologist who ran as the Republican nominee in the 2016 special election to finish the term of former Gov. John Kitzhaber (D). Gov. Brown, who replaced Kitzhaber after he resigned in February 2015, defeated Pierce and three other candidates in that election. Willamette Week's Rachel Monahan said, "Pierce has arguably the best name recognition among Republicans, thanks to his 2016 campaign. ... He’s liked by Republicans who watched him carry the party banner at times when momentum was against them."^[1]

Drazan represented District 39 in the Oregon House of Representatives from 2019 until she resigned on January 31, 2022.^[3] She was elected House Minority Leader in September 2019 and served in that position until November 30, 2021.^[4]^[5] Williamette Week's Monahan said, "Many speculate that if she wins the primary, she is most likely to receive significant cash from the Republican Governors Association."^[1]

Pulliam is an insurance executive who has served as the mayor of Sandy, Oregon, since 2019.^[6] He attracted media attention for his criticism of the measures Gov. Brown put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic and for calling the 2020 presidential election fraudulent.^[7]^[8] "Pulliam’s opposition to COVID shutdowns and his loyalty to Trump once made him the candidate to beat in the primary," said Monahan.^[1]

All three candidates have highlighted education and public safety as critical issues for their campaigns. Pierce said he would set up a non-political oversight board to look after education in the state, and Drazan said she would make the superintendent of public instruction a statewide elected position.^[9]^[10] Pulliam said the state should empower parents and local boards.^[11] On public safety, Drazan said she would increase funding for state troopers, while Pulliam said he would triple the size of the Oregon State Police and temporarily deploy them in Portland.^[12]^[13] Pierce said he would work with federal, state, and local authorities to better public safety.^[9]

Drazan and Pierce have said there is a homelessness crisis in the state. To tackle it, Drazan said that she would address addiction, mental health, and affordability, which she said are the root causes of homelessness. Pierce said he would address those same issues by building more affordable housing and public shelters with services to tackle addiction and mental health.^[12]^[9]

Also running in the primary are Raymond Baldwin, Bridget Barton, Court Boice, David Burch, Reed Christensen, Jessica Gomez, Nick Hess, Tim McCloud, Kerry McQuisten, Brandon Merritt, John Presco, Amber Richardson, Bill Sizemore, Stefan Strek, Marc Thielman, Bob Tiernan.

Bridget Barton

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography: "I’m a conservative who has spent the last 30 years advocating for conservative solutions to big problems like school performance and choice, business regulations and natural resources. I even took a risk in the late 1990s and started a successful conservative magazine called Brainstorm NW. Oregonians don’t want another career politician who’s been part of the problem—they want an outsider like me who’s focused on solutions. I’m a local small business owner, wife, parent of two grown kids and a woman of strong faith. I’m also a horsewoman who broke horses to help put my kids through college. I’m 68 years old and I’m not running to get the job—I’m running to do the job. "

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

I’m not a politician. I’m an outsider who takes action. In 2020, I helped organize the very first lawsuit against Governor Kate Brown when she shut Oregon down illegally for two years. The career politicians did nothing. I joined the Board of the Freedom Foundation, directing legal help and assistance to small business owners penalized harshly and fined over mandates and closures. And when leftists imposed the most lax voting standards in our nation’s history, I wrote in WA Examiner warning the nation of the dangerous flaws in our current system. We want our lives back. We want our businesses and our schools back. We want our safety back. And we want our freedom back. On Day One, when I’m elected Governor, I can’t wait to unleash Oregon.

In my youth, I made bad choices. I’ve been in recovery from alcoholism for 40 years. Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of people struggling with addiction. Our current city and state leaders are not compassionate toward homeless Oregonians; they’re enabling addiction. And it’s going to take an outsider with experience and with nothing to lose to make some drastic, immediate changes to how we treat this problem. My experience gives me unparalleled, critical insight needed to tackle the intertwined issues of crime, addiction, and homelessness that threaten our neighborhoods and families. And I will stand with law enforcement to get the job done.

My husband and I raised our kids as working parents. We never imagined our schools could get so bad. Oregon schools consistently rank at the bottom nationally. I’ve been an education reform and school choice advocate for decades. Thirty years ago, I championed the new idea of charter schools until they became law in Oregon. The Governor needs a clear-eyed understanding of what parents have experienced over the past two years. Schools must remain open. Only parents should choose whether their kids are masked. No COVID vaccine requirements. Parents should be fully empowered – back in the driver’s seat on curriculum and more.

Christine Drazan

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office:

Oregon House of Representatives Minority Leader (2019-2021)
Oregon House of Representatives District 39 (2019-2022)

Drazan also worked as political coordinator for the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association from 2006 to 2011 and as executive director of the Cultural Advocacy Coalition from 2011 to 2018.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Drazan said she would support law enforcement and increase funding for state troopers.

Drazan said, "As Governor, I will lead by keeping our schools open full time and in person, get back to the basics in the classroom, give parents a forum to be heard, and leave the politics at home where it belongs."

Drazan said, "I will address the root causes of homelessness – addiction, mental health, and affordability – and work with our nonprofits, the faith community, and local governments to get people off the streets."

Nick Hess

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography: "Nick Hess was raised in Portland, Oregon and is a successful local businessman with over 20 years of experience. He is the owner and CEO of a national IT managed services provider and a telecommunications company. Nick represents the silent majority of Republicans who want Oregon and the GOP to return to their core traditional values of civility, support of small business, lower taxes, and freedom and justice for all."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

Public Safety is a priority. Oregon needs zero tolerance on violent crime. Nick Hess supports law enforcement efforts to curb rising crime rates in our communities.

Trust in government starts with transparency. State budget information should be clear and available for Oregonians to review. At all times you should be able to see exactly where and how your tax dollars are being spent.

Majority of Oregonians are not adequately being represented. State government needs to listen to its citizens. With both parties moving so far apart, the vast number of Oregonians are left behind by divisive rhetoric.

Bud Pierce

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Biography: Pierce earned a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences from the University of California, Riverside in 1979 and a Ph.D. in experimental pathology from UCLA in 1985. He also earned an M.D. from UCLA in 1987. He served as a marine reservist from 1979 to 1985 and worked as an oncologist in Salem, Oregon.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

On his campaign website, Pierce said, "Oregon students currently suffer from one of the poorest performing K-12 education systems in the entire country ... In order to fix this, we need a non-political oversight board to look after education in the State of Oregon and not rely so heavily on partisan, career-politicians on a matter of such importance."

Referring to public safety in Oregon, Pierce said, "Unlike our current state leaders, who haven’t shown the leadership or initiative to tackle Oregon’s rising rates of crime and property destruction, I will take a new approach. I will work to ensure a coordinated government response (Federal, State, County, City, and Metro) with all entities working together to achieve the common goal of safety for Oregonians."

Pierce said, "Oregon is in the midst of a homelessness crisis: I see the reality of it every day on the way to my practice here in Salem. The solution involves affordable housing that is affordably built by lowering land costs and fees. It also involves public shelters with immediate wraparound services that address mental health, addiction, lack of job skills, and other areas that are a necessity for a successful, meaningful life."

Stan Pulliam

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office:

Mayor of Sandy, OR (Assumed office: 2019)

Biography: Pulliam earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Oregon. He worked as a staffer for local, state and national campaigns and as an insurance executive in Oregon.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Pulliam said that as governor he would establish carry reciprocity with all states and veto any steps to infringe or erode second amendment rights.

Pulliam said, "We must offer parents choices in their children’s education and allow their tax dollars to follow their children wherever they go to school—whether that is a traditional public school, online, private, homeschool, or some other educational option."

Pulliam said he would triple the size of the Oregon State Police and deploy them, as well as the Oregon National Guard, to end the endless violence in the streets of Portland.

Amber Richardson

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography: "I'm a young driven true honest patriot for Oregon. I was born and raised in southern Oregon, I'm an America First, Oregon First candidate! I want full audits on all government funded agencies, and an audit on all spending and payrolls. I'm a LMT at a chiropractic office in Medford, Oregon and I've been at my practice for 11 years. I've never been spoon fed my entire life, and I wont start now, I've had to work really hard for everything. My story isn't a sob story, my story is the American dream story. I've had to work two jobs the majority of my life to get where I'am today. Owning a home and having a business is the American dream, this plan and goal has been stripped away from our youth, this needs to change. Trade schools , and careers shouldn't be discouraged in Oregon, there should also be more support for trade education. Our constitution was written for our states and government to be ran for the people by the people. We have got to get back to our roots. That is why the grassroots movement is so important. No more extreme money politics, all that shows, is clearly is what we already know. The lack of conservative spending. My campaign is about a very conservative budget, campaign for what you need, a youth tour to get our youth involved in politics in the right direction, get our elections back, medical freedom, standing up for our rights, Caring about generations after! not just the next election."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

HONESTY is something we haven't seen in a long time, I will provide honesty, we have been lied to weather its through public forum, taxes, bills, measures, the list goes on and on, there is no trust.

A patriot is someone who cares more about the generations after, not just about the next election. We need more real people running, career politicians are over, term limits, no more blanket rules and privileges. Most of our career politicians get a degree and never use it, that is like becoming a lawyer and never having a case, becoming a doctor and never having a patient. It is no wonder most of our politicians that write policies that don't apply to the everyday person, the application to reality is lost. We need the working day business entrepreneur in political office in our state, with the America first, Oregon first agenda. NO more bluestateeconomy#

Why I would be a good Governor is because I'am a Oregonian born and raised. Also being a southern Oregonian I think is important, we have had too much of the up north power, it is time to stretch the strength across our state. People have always felt that the rest of the state is forgotten, which a huge portion of the rural farming and agricultural portion of the state supports our cities. Because of the tyrannical Kate Brown our state is left feeling divided, this is not the Oregon I was born and raised in. We need our state back, we used to be a state built on community, love and support. Growing up in Oregon it was not this way, the time is now to restore the beauty of our state, heal our counties from the tyranny and unite.

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

I will support & defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign & domestic. I may of taken off the uniform, but in my soul I still have an oath to uphold. I wish to continue fulfilling my oath by serving my state as governor.

I am not a politician. I'm a young American unwilling to be silent and stand by any longer. I stand with the overwhelming number of Americans that are done with this evil and tyrannical agenda. Oregon is falling behind in many fields. As a Father of two boy, I understand the importance of critical thinking and competitiveness. Education is only the foundation of a Childs future, but without a solid foundation the child will not withstand the test of time...

The rich have far to much control in government. Its time for someone that has lived through poverty, and truly understand the struggles of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
