WW: Kitzhaber will file today

Charlie Burr

From WWeek:

WW has confirmed that former Gov. John Kitzhaber will file paperwork Tuesday to proceed with plans to run for governor in 2010. He has notified at least three state-wide officials of his plans.

Kitzhaber previously served as Oregon governor from 1995 to 2003.

Political Wire has a list of five former governors contemplating seeking their old positions.

Discuss.

    Well good luck to Kitzhaber! I just hope there will be a clean election and please do me a favor try to vote wisely. We need someone who will lead us to progressive economy and will not corrupt our community funds. I hope that John being a former Governor of will do his best to serve his people at his best when he wins this election. Oregon people vote wisely!
