In her post, she stated, “NEW: The News-Register has endorsed our campaign to fire @TinaKotek and restore Oregon’s promise. Our campaign’s momentum keeps growing. We’re ready to make Oregon more affordable, safer, and more prosperous for every family who cals our beautiful state home.”

On April 13, 2026, Drazan reflected on her participation at a local political event: “It was an honor to speak at the Hood River Lincoln Day Dinner on Saturday! President Lincoln believed in the promise of America even in its most challenging moments. Today, that same spirit lives on in communities across Oregon. We don’t quit. Thank you to everyone who came”.
Endorsements from local newspapers like the News-Register are often seen as valuable assets for candidates seeking public office in Oregon. Christine Drazan previously served as Minority Leader of the Oregon House of Representatives and was a gubernatorial candidate in past election cycles.
