I've paid shockingly little attention to this race, it's probably the second most important job in the state.
From what I've seen and heard, I'm leaning Shemia Fagan. But that's based on limited information and I'm usually willing to be educated.

Have to say I could have been persuaded to go with Jamie McLeod-Skinner, but in the end I went with the civil rights attorney from Dufur rather than the natural resources attorney. That preference arising from the position's elections authority. Both garnered many quality endorsements and I feel both would do a commendable job. On background and experience, I went with Shemia Fagan.

The main reason I'm leaning Fagan is that we are heading into extraordinary times, and her experience in Darfur demonstrates that she can cope with extraordinary times.

(14,186 posts)I ended up voting for Jamie.
In past races, I have done door to door for Shemia. And each election she seems to get better. But I had a very mild lean for jamie, so thats how I voted. I'd be happy to vote for either of them in the general.
I think Jamie would do well in rural areas. Shemia will do well in suburbs.
I mark the third one as a nonissue. Maybe i misread the situation, but I see him as the John Delaney to the Biden/Sanders of the other two.
