Kate Brown gets an early start on 2018 campaign
Gov. Kate Brown didn't waste any time after her reelection. On Wednesday, Nov. 9, she was right back on the campaign trail.
Her calendar shows she spent six hours campaigning that day. She thanked donors, gave media interviews and chatted about the election results, her campaign manager says.
But she was also getting a head start on her 2018 race, where she'll likely face stiff competition from Republicans.

That adds up to about 73 hours strictly campaigning.
