The Oregon Republican Party has launched an effort to recall Oregon Governor Kate Brown.
A release said the “Stop the Abuse – Recall Kate Brown” campaign seeks to gather signatures to place the recall of the Governor on the ballot this fall. State GOP Chairman Bill Currier said he wants to “end her disastrous, unaccountable and abusive tenure as the chief executive of our state”.
The release said the last campaign to recall Brown in the summer of 2019 fell about 8 percent short of the 280,050 signatures required. It said that total represented a record number of signatures gathered for any statewide recall petition in Oregon history, and was done so without the help of out of state donor funding. The release said nearly 33 percent of the signatures came from non-Republicans.
Currier said “in 2019, there was clearly buyer’s remorse about Kate Brown’s leadership that led hundreds of thousands of voters to seek to hold her accountable”. He said the conduct of the Governor during the events of 2020, “has only served to reveal just how devastating Brown’s abuse of power could truly be upon Oregon”. Currier said a year ago, citizens were angry, “but now Oregonians are fighting for their livelihoods and their freedoms”. He said “Governor Brown’s unlawful executive orders stand in the way of restoring both”.
Bill Currier will talk more about the effort on the Morning Conversation Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. on News Radio 1240 KQEN.
