Republican Governor Candidate Forum
Not since January 1987 has a Republican occupied the governor’s office in Oregon. On April 16, City Club welcomes Republican gubernatorial primary contenders Allen Alley, Chris Dudley, John Lim and Bill Sizemore. The four candidates will debate the most critical issues facing the state and make their individual cases for why they are best suited to represent their party during the final race for the governor’s office later this year.
Allen Alley, co-founder of Pixelworks, a semiconductor company, was the Republican candidate for State Treasurer in 2008. Chris Dudley, a partner in the financial company Filigree Advisors, is best known for his 16 seasons in the NBA, including six with the Portland Trailblazers. John Lim served as State Senator for District 11 from 1993-2000 and was State Representative for House District 50 from 2004-2008. Bill Sizemore is the executive director of the Oregon Taxpayers Union and has been involved in numerous state ballot measure campaigns.
