The Oregonian has anticipated the election to have "the first competitive Democratic primary in more than a decade and potentially the closest such race since 2002".[6] Willamette Week anticipated a "wide open field of Democrats" noting the lack of an incumbent.[7] More than 15 Republicans have been identified as candidates including Bud Pierce, who was the nominee in 2016.[8]
