There was a dispute here about a half-hour ago between @Jon698: and @Abram Schlimper: about whether "Tina" is short for "Christine". I couldn't find any clear RS supporting that, partly because the results were flooded with mentions of Drazan, Kotek's opponent, except for this old filing with the Oregon SoS. One "Christine Kotek" is listed as Treasurer of Tina Kotek's campaign for state House. However, it's possible that Christine Kotek is a relative of Tina Kotek, especially as "Tina Kotek" is given as the candidate's name here.

Thank you @Augusthorsesdroppings10: for contributing to the discussion. I'm quite certain "Christine Kotek" that Treasurer of Tina's state House campaign is none other than Tina herself. If you'd look up 'Christine Kotek' in a people search engine like Spokeo or WhitePages, you'll see there is only one Christine Kotek in the whole state of Oregon and she's listed as living in North Portland at a Kenton neighborhood address. There is also a Christine Koteck living in Hillsboro but the spelling of the last name is slightly different. Abram Schlimper (talk) 20:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The couple moved to York in 1963 when Jerry got a job with the former Borg Warner. Their first daughter Susan was born the next year with twins Christine and Steven following two years later.Abram Schlimper (talk) 01:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A particular anonymous user has felt the need twice in the past week to add "far-left American politician" to the first sentence of this page. It was removed once, then the same IP added it again about a day later, and it has since been removed again. Seems like someone with too much time on their hands is trolling the page. Regardless, this type of edit is inflammatory and overly politicized. They'll probably try this again, so keep an eye out for this and other bad faith edits. 2601:1C0:6480:4ED0:BCEA:6D26:CC93:B011 (talk) 13:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
