Kitzhaber Comeback?
Former Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber of Oregon*, who served from 1995 to 2003 and has been promoting health care ideas ever since, ended any doubts by announcing officially today that he's running for governor again next year.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
