We want to give you now a look at the
statewide results and bring in our Todd Unger to break
all of those down for us.
Yeah, Liz, So we have three spots that will be
decided this fall,
all holding primaries. Actually this round tonight we'll start with
the Secretary of State race,
a commanding win tonight for Tobias Reed.
He is currently state Treasurer,
but now could have a new role if he wins
the general election come November.
We caught up with him just moments ago making sure
that people have confidence in in state governments that they
choose to vote and have confidence in in their votes
being counted and valued. That they have confidence in how
taxpayer dollars are being spent.
That that audits are are driven by data,
not by by politics.
He will go on to face Dennis Linthicum in November.
He held off 2 challengers tonight,
taking over 60% of the vote thus far.
Now to the AGS race with two more projected winners.
Dan Rayfield taking it for the Democrats will Lathrop winning
on the Republican side.
They will also face off in the general in November,
Rayfield saying in a statement he will continue to offer
a vision of keeping Oregonians safe,
strengthening the justice system. And making it more accountable and
fair.
He also added he will stand up for consumers,
seniors and children and work to protect abortion rights.
Lathrop says it's time for change from repeated failed Democratic
leaders.
So I think people are looking for new leadership.
They're looking for change. They're looking for somebody who's bipartisan
is going to work across the aisle to protect people
and solve problems and hold and hold bad actors accountable.
And and I and I'm that guy.
And for treasurer, now on the Democratic side,
you can see a commanding victory tonight for Elizabeth Steiner,
pulling in 78% of the vote.
The winner of that race,
Steiner, will now face Brian Boquist,
who ran unopposed on the Republican side.
He's one of the lawmakers disqualified from re-election this time
around because of their participation in those walkouts.
He was also involved in extensive legal battles over comments
he made during the 2019 walkouts.
So a lot more to track there.
