New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is leaving his job as he continues to consider running for governor of Oregon, where he grew up. He has been on leave since June, when he first revealed his interest in the run. “I’m honestly interested in what my fellow Oregonians have to say about that,” he added during his interview with Portland-based Willamette Week. Kristof, who won Pulitzer Prizes in International Reporting in 1990 and Commentary in 2006, would be running as a Democrat. He did not tell Willamette Week when he moved back to Oregon, though the outlet noted he’s been working on his family’s orchard in Yamhill for at least two years.
