PORTLAND, Ore.  -- Gov. Ted Kulongoski has named the chairman of the Multnomah County Commission as state treasurer.

Democrat Ted Wheeler succeeds Ben Westlund, who died Sunday of lung cancer. He will serve until voters choose a successor in November

The 47-year-old Wheeler says he will run for the job this fall.

He may, however, have competition in the May primary from Democratic state Sen. Rick Metsger of Welches.
