Ex-columnist Nicholas Kristof ineligible to run for Oregon governor
Oregon election officials ruled Thursday that former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is ineligible to run for governor because he does not meet the state’s three-year residency requirement.
“I come from outside the political establishment, and I don’t owe insiders anything,” he later told a news conference. “They view my campaign as a threat and so, instead of working to end homelessness, they’re working to end my candidacy.” His lawyers said he has paid taxes on the properties and that he filed Oregon income tax returns for 2019 and 2020.
Kristof had argued that by voting in New York, he was not renouncing Oregon as his home. He said that after he dies he wants to be cremated and his ashes spread on his farm and on the Pacific Crest Trail.
