HEO Surveys Candidates on Campaign Finance Reform
Survey Shows Most Oregon Candidates are Ignoring Voter Demands for Campaign Finance Reform.
While
there are a few champions of campaign finance reform (CFR) among Oregon
candidates for statewide or legislative office, most declined to answer
the survey or expressed views inconsistent with the wishes of Oregon
voters.
“Even though Oregon voters have overwhelmingly voted for campaign finance reform, including in 2020, Oregon legislators have not adopted contribution limits or meaningful disclosure requirements,” said Mindy Lowden of Wolf-PAC Oregon.
Honest Elections Oregon (HEO) surveyed the positions on campaign finance reform issues of all 2022 candidates for Governor and the Oregon Legislature. 37 candidates responded to the survey. Here are their answers.
HEO then evaluated their answers, assigning points for answers that are consistent with the goals of HEO. HEO then applied a grading scale ranging from A+ for the best answers to D for the worst, reserving F for the candidates who did not respond to the survey, despite repeated requests by email and phone over a period of several weeks. Here are the grades of those who responded.
