SALEM, Ore. — Three Democrats and two Republicans are running for Oregon Secretary of State. The May 19, 2020 primary election will narrow the field to one from each party….
KIM THATCHER (R) On the Republican side, Kim Thatcher owns a construction project management company and lives in Keizer.
She became a State Representative in 2005 and is now a State Senator.
“What I think needs to happen – especially recovering from this pandemic – auditing programs and agencies and our response to this pandemic to learn lessons and maybe do things better, prepare better. Also, we’re gonna be hit with a huge budget deficit because of the shut down – no economic activity- businesses are down- which means the income tax receipts are way down,” said Thatcher.
