Endorsements
The easiest decision we made was to endorse Jeff Gudman for State Treasurer. Gudman is an authentic and principled type of moderate Republican in line with Hatfield, Atiyeh and Myers. His pedigree for this position is unmatched, from his Masters in Finance from the Wharton School, to his work as Treasurer of the Legacy Emmanuel Hospital Foundation, and service on the Lake Oswego City Council. In his interview, he advocated for reforming the wasteful state purchase order system that was discovered by Dennis Richardson’s audit. Gudman blasted his opponent for failure to advise the legislature on bond capacity spending and not applying “found money” toward our PERS obligations instead of expanding services. At one point, he prefaced, “This is a little wonky … but that’s what you want in a treasurer.” We agree.
