That’s right, local TV personality and recent City Club President Rick Dancer may seek the Republican nomination for Oregon Secretary of State. The Register Guard reports:
Willamette Week, a Portland alternative newspaper, reported this week that Dancer’s name was floating around as a possible GOP candidate for secretary of state. Oregon Republican Party spokeswoman Brianne Hyder declined to comment on the report’s veracity.
Dancer, a longtime presence on KEZI-TV, didn’t return three calls to the station. A newsroom employee said questions were to be handled by News Director Gary Darigol, who declined to discuss the possible candidacy.
“Any questions regarding Rick Dancer will be answered this Wednesday at 6:30 by Rick Dancer on KEZI news,” he said.
Gee, I bet the ad price for the 6:30-7pm slot on KEZI skyrocketed (all the way to $25 a minute)!
Really, this is shameless — this had better just be a publicity stunt, because if he announces his candidacy on the air, taking advantage of his position in the media and pumping up the event using his own news program, well.
