The 2018 Oregon Commissioner of Labor and Industries election was held on May 15, 2018, in order to elect the Oregon Commissioner of Labor and Industries. The election was held on a nonpartisan basis.
Incumbent Commissioner Brad Avakian did not seek reelection.[1] Val Hoyle was elected to succeed him. Because Hoyle won a majority in the May primary election, a November runoff did not occur.
The nonpartisan primary election was held alongside partisan primary elections for other offices on May 15, 2018. Since the Commissioner of Labor is a nonpartisan role, a general election is only held if no one in the primary election secures 50% of the vote. Hoyle avoided a runoff vote and was elected to the role by winning 52.28% of the vote in the primary election.[2]
While the position of Labor Commissioner is nonpartisan, Ogden is known to be a Republican, while Howard and Hoyle are Democrats.[4]
