“Looks Like” highlights Governor Kotek’s record of standing up to Donald Trump and defending Oregon’s values, kicking off a statewide paid media program
Portland, OR – Today, Governor Tina Kotek’s re-election campaign launched its first television ad of the general election.”Looks Like” is the first ad in the campaign’s statewide multi-million dollar paid media program, which will highlight Governor Kotek’s record of delivering results and defending Oregon’s values while drawing a clear contrast with Christine Drazan ahead of November.
“As Donald Trump attacks the programs and protections Oregonians depend on, I will continue to stand up for our state and fight back against President Trump’s overreach,” said Governor Tina Kotek. “Meanwhile, Christine Drazan has embraced Trump’s agenda despite the devastating impact it would cause Oregon families. This election is about who will fight for Oregon’s values, protect our freedoms, and stand up for working families. I have never backed down from that fight, and I won’t start now.”
The campaign enters the general election with more than three times the cash on hand of its opponent, a strong statewide field program, and a broad coalition of labor, environmental, racial and immigrant justice, reproductive rights, and grassroots leaders working to re-elect Governor Kotek.
“LOOKS LIKE” TRANSCRIPT
GOVERNOR KOTEK: Sometimes fighting back looks like this:
NEWS VO: “Governor Tina Kotek…called out the President’s actions”
GOVERNOR KOTEK: And sometimes it sounds like this:
NEWS VO: “With SNAP benefits now at risk, Oregon governor Tina Kotek is declaring a food emergency”
GOVERNOR KOTEK: But every time Donald Trump attacks Oregon, I will fight back with every tool I have.
To always protect our people and our rights.
As your Governor, I will always stand up for Oregon.
