Danielle Bethell is running for Oregon governor despite being considered a long shot. She has been in the race longer than other top contenders but has low name recognition, with one recent poll showing only 2% support. Bethell has served on the Salem-Keizer school board and owns a plumbing business with her husband. She was elected to the Marion County Board of Commissioners in 2020. As commissioner, she created community outreach teams to help people navigate homeless services and steer those with low-level crimes towards treatment. Bethell is under investigation by the state ethics commission for allegedly using her position to benefit her children. She denies any wrongdoing, stating she was transparent about her situation. Bethell's approach to homelessness differs from her opponents, as she advocates for street teams composed of mental health professionals, law enforcement, and paramedics to respond to individuals in crisis.
