Brown, a fellow Democrat, is widely considered to be to the left of Gov. John Kitzhaber, who is under mounting pressure to leave office because of an influence-peddling scandal involving his fiancee. If he resigns, Brown would also become the first openly bisexual governor in the nation. (AP Photo/Don Ryan, File) ORG XMIT: FX101
