Oregon Republicans Aim to Recall Democratic Governor Over Climate Change Plans

Kate Brown’s drive for cap-and-trade legislation has painted a bullseye on her back. Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images As you may recall, Republican state senators in Oregon made national news last month when they left the state to deny Democrats a necessary quorum for a vote on climate change-related carbon cap-and-trade legislation that the GOP claimed would damage the logging and trucking industries.

So it’s all a little hazy. But Brown’s talk of executive action, and perhaps a perceived political opening, were enough to spur Oregon Republicans to begin a petition drive to recall the governor , as another report from the Oregonian explains: Brown originally took office in 2015 when her predecessor John Kitzhaber resigned after a conflict-of-interest scandal. She won a special election to complete Kitzhaber’s term in 2016 by seven points, and was reelected to a second term last year by a slightly narrower margin. Brown is not terribly popular: according to the last quarterly Morning Consult assessment of gubernatorial job approval, her ratio is 41/44, sixth worst in the country.
