Betsy just got a massive dump of DA endorsements...
Would not be surprised to a massive wave of endorsements from County Sheriffs in Oregon to follow soon after...
Oregon unaffiliated candidate for governor Betsy Johnson announced Thursday that she has the support of two-thirds of the state’s current district attorneys and a variety of other former prosecutors. The endorsements come in an election year when voters are telling pollsters that crime is among their top concerns.
In a statement shared by Johnson’s campaign, Washington County District Attorney Kevin Barton cited Johnson’s pledge to push for voters to repeal Oregon’s drug decriminalization law, something that Republican Christine Drazan has also promised to pursue.
“Betsy’s no-nonsense and common-sense public safety platform puts Oregon back on the right track,” Barton said. “I am proud to be part of a tremendous and unprecedented coalition of public safety leaders supporting Betsy as Oregon’s next governor as she seeks to repeal the legalization of hard drugs, fight drug cartels, and stop the free-flow of fentanyl that is killing our kids.”

Schubert in CA got a ton of DA and Sheriff endorsements she still ended up with a a little under 8%. I think Johnson is polling way higher than how shes gonna do Third-party candidates always overperform in the polls. She'll probably get around 10% I think 15% is her max she might also win a county or two from her district. I'm curious to see a breakdown of which party's supporters shes taking the most from.
