Candidate forum: Gov. Tina Kotek and Sen. Christine Drazan answered questions related to Oregon’s competitiveness and business climate for more than an hour on Sept. 24 at the OBI/Portland Business Journal Competitiveness Summit and Candidate Forum in Portland. The event was the first joint appearance by the two candidates this fall. It took place in the Sentinel Hotel in Portland and was moderated by Portland Business Journal Editor Suzanne Stevens. OBI appreciates the support of the business leaders, sponsors and attendees who helped make the event happen – and, of course, the two candidates.
