Campaign finance reform activists on Wednesday filed an appeal asking the Oregon Supreme Court to overturn Secretary of State Shemia Fagan's disqualification of three proposals to limit political contributions.

The lawsuit marks the second time an elections decision by Fagan has been challenged in recent weeks. It comes as the Supreme Court is set to rule on another high-profile challenge.

After Secretary of State Shemia Fagan bounced three proposals to cap political donations, one state senator says he'll try to convince colleagues to put a similar measure before voters.

Secretary of State Shemia Fagan says three proposed ballot measures dealing with campaign cash don't pass constitutional muster. Two more contain the same problem, supporters admit.

Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan, a Democrat, announced on Wednesday morning that she will disqualify three proposals to set campaign contribution limits, based on a 2004 Oregon Court of Appeals ruling.
