In the ongoing quest to determine who the Oregon Republican Party will run in state-wide races, a new tidbit of information has surfaced regarding the Treasurer’s race.

Rumors have been bouncing around Republican circles that Rick Miller, CEO of Wilsonville-based Avamere Health Services, is strongly considering a run to challenge Democrat Ben Westlund.

Miller did not return calls by Thursday afternoon, but conservative blogger Rob Kremer, a friend of Miller’s who is familiar with the decision-making process, said in a phone call that he doesn’t believe Miller has arrived at a final decision yet.
