MEDFORD, Or. – Unaffiliated gubernatorial candidate Betsy Johnson visited the Rogue Valley Thursday.
Johnson surprised people at the Growers and Crafters Market at Medford’s Hawthorne Park late Thursday morning.
The former Democratic State Senator was shaking hands and encouraging people to take the time to vote before Tuesday’s election.
Even though polls show her in a distant third, Johnson says she is optimistic about the election.
“While the other candidates in the gubernatorial race are flying in political celebrities from the east coast, I am flying out to talk to Oregonians where they live and work. The Medford contingent have been very strong supporters and it has been energizing, their enthusiasm has been energizing,” Johnson said.
Ballots have to be in official election drop boxes by 8 p.m. Tuesday, or they have to be postmarked by Tuesday to count in this midterm election.
