Some Oregon Republicans are having regrets about effort to recall Gov. Kate Brown
SALEM — Some prominent Oregon Republicans say their party’s effort to recall Gov. Kate Brown isn’t a good use of limited energy, time and money.
“I am only speaking for myself, but I have misgivings about the petition drive,” said Deschutes County Republican chair Paul deWitt. “Kate Brown deserves to be recalled, but we also need to elect Republicans in 2020.”
DeWitt said the county party would circulate petitions for the recall, launched July 15 by Oregon Republican Party chair Bill Currier. “The petition will be on our table at the county fair,” deWitt said. “We’ll do our part.”
But deWitt is among a mostly quiet group of critics within the party who say the recall will undercut efforts to win seats in the Legislature and mount a strong run for three statewide offices on the ballot in 2020.
