Nike co-founder donates $1M to Republican running for governor in Oregon | Fox News

By Thomas A. Smith

Nike co-founder Phil Knight has contributed $1 million toward Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan’s campaign in Oregon, according to KATU.

Knight had previously donated $3.75 million to independent candidate Betsy Johnson’s gubernatorial campaign, but has now shifted his sights to the right. Knight’s spending spree shows a staunch opposition to the Democratic candidate for the governor’s office, Tina Kotec.

Knight’s boost to Drazan’s campaign comes nearly two months after the candidate announced a steep increase in ad spending in August. The ad buy centered around her roadmap for flipping Oregon, which hasn’t elected a Republican governor in decades.
