UFC Legend Chael Sonnen Announces Plan To Run For Oregon Governor, Floats
Deputizing Biker Gangs To Fight Crime
Former UFC light heavyweight Chael Sonnen says he plans on running for
governor of Oregon at some point, he announced during a Thursday appearance
on the PBD Podcast. “From the time I was a little kid I wanted to be
governor of Oregon. And I will be the governor of Oregon,”
Sonnen
said.
“You’re thinking about running, like here soon, like in the
next couple of years?” podcast host
Patrick Bet-David
asked him. “Yes, yes. I don’t know that I’m going to, but yes I’m
looking at that right now,” Sonnen replied
Sonnen will likely run
as a Republican, having previously described himself as a huge fan of former
President Donald Trump. He also explained that, despite
Oregon‘s reputation as a blue state, outside of Portland it’s actually heavily
Republican.

“Why we’re the second bluest state
in the nation? It’s just one county, it’s Multnomah County and it’s
Portland,” Sonnen explained. “And the Republicans come in every single cycle
and they try to appease the people in Multnomah County, they try to win them
over every time. I don’t know why they do that. I will annex Multnomah
County. I will put it on Zillow and sell it to the state of Washington,”
Sonnen said (maybe) jokingly.
Maybe he can beat the state into shape. It can't hurt to try.
