PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Former NBA center Chris Dudley formally announced he is running for Oregon governor.
The 6-foot-11 Yale graduate told supporters Wednesday he wants to slow the growth of the state budget and considers his lack of political experience a plus.
Dudley played 16 years in the NBA, including two stints with the Portland Trail Blazers.
He will compete for the Republican nomination against Allen Alley, John Lim and Bill Sizemore.
Former Gov. John Kitzhaber and former Secretary of State Bill Bradbury are seeking the Democratic nomination.
The primaries are in May, with the general election to follow in November.
