Kitzhaber Set to Run for Historic 4th Term as Oregon Governor

Gov. John Kitzhaber will run for what could be a history-making fourth term after winning the Democratic nomination Tuesday with virtually no opposition.

 

Kitzhaber, 67, will face Dennis Richardson, a state representative from Central Point, who captured the Republican nomination by a wide margin.

 

Kitzhaber's campaign did not make the governor available for comment Tuesday night, nor did it issue a statement.
