Vicki Walker announced Monday that she will challenge Gov. Ted Kulongoski in the Democratic primary next year. Walker formally entered the race with little fanfare, choosing to make the announcement from her Eugene home. “The reason I did it here is because I’m just an average Oregonian,” Walker told Oregon Public Broadcasting. “I live in a modest home in a modest street, in a great neighborhood with fabulous people around me and I want Oregonians to know that I’m just one of them,” she said, adding that she was “not one of the good old boys.” Lane County Commissioner Pete Sorenson, another fellow Democrat, has already announced he will challenge to Kulongoski in 2006. Kulongoski said Monday that he hadn’t given Walker’s announcement any thought. He declined further comment. The Republican primary race is likely to be a rematch of 2002 between former state Republican Party Chairman Kevin Mannix and Portland lawyer Ron Saxton. State Sen. Jason Atkinson also is running. — The Associated Press DailyTidings.com Home Page Archives | Revels | Classifieds | Real Estate Guide | Weather | Subscribe | Contact Us Copyright 2005 Ashland Daily Tidings and Ottaway Newspapers All Rights Reserved Deep Muscle Stimulator Ceramic Piggy Banks FREE Entertainment Guide Women's & Men's Slippers Accelerate Weightloss Products Backpacks Generic Viagra Vegas Travel Guide Search Engine Optimization Sportsbook Absinthe Supply Student Loans Hotel & Airline Reservations African Safari Hammocks Helzberg Diamonds Online Casinos Community Bonus Casino King of Spirits ink cartridges Mortgage Calculator Security Systems Mailing Lists Click Here Advertisement .:Advertisements:.
