WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Governors Association Communications Director Jon Thompson issued the following statement on Oregon Democrat Governor John Kitzhaber’s resignation:
“John Kitzhaber is right to resign. The plainly unethical conduct he allowed to persist stands as an inexcusable betrayal of the trust invested in him by the people of Oregon. Making matters worse, even as Governor Kitzhaber’s glaring wrongdoing became increasingly clear, Kate Brown and other Oregon Democrats stayed silent for months on the matter, demonstrating they cared most about their allegiance to their Party, not the constituents who elected them. Oregon is in critical need of new leadership, and their current leaders have made it abundantly clear they are unfit to govern effectively.”
