The 2002 Oregon gubernatorial election took place on November 5,2002. Incumbent Democratic Governor of Oregon John Kitzhaber was unable to seek a third consecutive term as governor,therefore creating an open seat. To replace him,former Oregon Supreme Court Associate Justice Ted Kulongoski won a crowded and competitive Democratic primary,while former State Representative Kevin Mannix emerged from an equally competitive Republican primary. The campaign between Kulongoski and Mannix,who were joined by Libertarian nominee Tom Cox,was close and went down to the wire. Ultimately,Kulongoski eked out a narrow margin of victory over Mannix,which was slightly smaller than Cox's total vote share,allowing Kulongoski to win what would be the first of two terms as governor.
