2022 Oregon gubernatorial election
The 2022 Oregon gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022,[1] to elect the governor of Oregon. Incumbent Democratic Governor Kate Brown took office on February 18, 2015, upon the resignation of John Kitzhaber.[2] She was subsequently elected in the gubernatorial special election in 2016[3] and was re-elected to a full term in 2018.[4] Due to term limits, she cannot seek re-election in 2022.[5]

The Oregonian has anticipated the election to have "the first competitive Democratic primary in more than a decade and potentially the closest such race since 2002".[6] Willamette Week anticipated a "wide open field of Democrats" noting the lack of an incumbent.[7] Almost 20 Republicans are running for the office, including two previous nominees for governor in 1998 and 2016,[8][9] as well as 15 Democrats and some non-affiliates/third-party members. Both the former House majority leader and former minority leader have announced their candidacies.[10][11]
Oregon is a solid Democratic state at the presidential level,[12] and hasn't elected a Republican governor since 1982.[13] However, recent gubernatorial elections have been within single digits, and Republicans are predicted to do well nationally in the 2022 elections.[14]
