Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg
Wooldridge speaks at 2018
Dorchester Conference.
He beat Rep. Knute Buehler with 40 percent
of the vote in a straw
poll there. |
Anonymous
campaign donations are banned in Oregon, but nearly half the money
raised by a leading Republican gubernatorial candidate cannot be
directly traced because it comes from two out of state corporations.
The
two corporations have donated $125,000 of the $288,000 raised so far by
candidate Greg Wooldridge, who lists “the sunshine of accountability”
as part of his campaign platform.
What
the functions of the corporations are — and who is behind them — was a
mystery only partly cleared up by the campaign after the donations were
made. One is tied to a California real estate executive, but the other,
listed as a Nevada firm, had its business license yanked, an Associated
Press review found.
