Kristof defends residency to Oregon Supreme Court

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nick Kristof asserted Friday he paid Oregon income taxes as a full-year resident beginning in 2020, answering a question raised about whether he is qualified to run.

He made the disclosure in a lengthy court filing urging the Oregon Supreme Court to restore him to the ballot.

The 54-page legal brief filed Friday night largely repeats legal arguments Kristof and his attorneys have made since August, shortly after the former New York Times columnist began publicly pondering a run for governor of his home state.

It's embarrassing to listen to him. Not sure why he thinks he qualifies to run - he doesn't meet the residency requirements. Also wonder who is backing him. $$
