John Kitzhaber's Newest Big Donors

Former Gov. John Kitzhaber picked up two large donations this week from prominent Oregonians in his bid to win the 2010 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

As we reported last week, Kitzhaber has been collecting some big-bucks contributions of the $10,000-per-donor variety.

This week, Kitzhaber recorded a $15,000 contribution from winemaker Eric Lemelson and another $5,000 from the political action committee of Oregon Attorney General John Kroger.
