Oregon Supreme Court Ends Bid For Governor’s Office By Former NYT Columnist

Former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof may claim Oregon is his home. The state’s Supreme Court disagrees, however.

Oregon’s highest court ruled Thursday that Kristof, a Democrat, is ineligible to run for governor because his claims of residency failed a legal test.

State law requires gubernatorial candidates to have lived in Oregon for at least three years.

As The Free Press reported last month, Kristof felt he had a case. He claimed that he had considered Oregon his home since his family moved there 50 years ago. He owns property there and has even expanded his holdings, media reports say.

Former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof cannot run for governor in Oregon. To be governor, one has to live there for at least 3 years.

Former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof cannot run for governor in Oregon. To be governor, one has to live there for at least 3 years.

Seriously, what is it with Democrats?  Kristoff says he "Identifies" as an Oregon resident.  PA swimmer Lia (Will) Thomas "identifies" as female.

Madness

Further, WTF is it with so-called "journalists" who believe they're qualified to be elected to public office?

Pound sand, dude. Go play with your toys in your sandbox.

The Oregon Supreme Court was swayed by his voting record, not the who, but the where … New York.
