  "account": "Oregon's governor's race may provide the Republican Party with its best opportunity this year to flip a governor's mansion in a state they haven't won since 1982. A new poll shows Democratic Governor Tina Kotek and Republican state Senator Christine Drazan locked in a tight race, with Kotek ahead by 2 points. The poll, conducted by DHM Research, surveyed 549 likely voters from September 24 to October 1. A Drazan win would make her Oregon's first Republican governor since 1982, ending a decade-long drought for the party. The window to change the race is closing fast as county officials begin mailing ballots for the November 3 election.",
