PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Businessman Allen Alley has topped former NBA player Chris Dudley in a straw poll at the annual gathering of Republican party activists in Seaside.

Alley got 51 percent of the votes at the Dorchester Conference on Sunday morning. Dudley trailed with 38 percent. Former legislator John Lim was a distant third at 11 percent.

A total of 437 people chose among the three candidates in the poll that is a tradition at the close of the Dorchester gatherings, now in their 46th year. The poll doesn’t have any formal impact. The primary election in May will choose the party’s nominee to succeed Democrat Ted Kulongoski.
