The majority of Oregonians want campaign finance reform but apparently cannot agree on how to reform elections beyond campaign finance, according to new survey results from the Oregon Values and

Oregon Democrats promised to reform the state’s campaign finance laws. But their fix tilts the playing field in their favor, says a Democratic lawmaker.

Letter to the editor

Political spending on the Oregon governor's race nearly doubled from four years ago. The state is one of just five in the nation without campaign contribution limits.

Democrat Tina Kotek pledged Monday to make capping campaign contributions one of her top priorities if she’s elected governor – but she won’t turn down large campaign checks.

Democratic candidate for Oregon governor Tina Kotek on Monday reiterated her pledge to prioritize pushing for campaign contribution limits if she is elected.

The three leading candidates in Oregon's race for governor combined had reported raising $47 million as of Monday. Four years ago, the Democrat and Republican raised approximately $37.8 million.

A top Oregon Republican Party official alleged that Democratic nominee Tina Kotek broke state law with promises to a third-party candidate.

The new disclosure means Betsy Johnson's total fund-raising has reached $16.2 million – $2.6 million more than Democrat Tina Kotek and $3.4 million more than Republican Christine Drazan.

With her commitment to the issue, the Democratic nominee for Oregon governor helped convince a third-party candidate to step out of the race. That's likely to help her.

To help voters understand the differing visions of the three major contenders, we asked the three leading candidates to make their pitch as to why Oregonians should choose them as their next governor.

Here's how a couple of primary elections could be influenced by the crypto industry.

With just over two weeks until Election Day, the final push for Oregon gubernatorial candidates is in full swing. That means big money is coming in. So much so, that experts believe we could be in for another record-breaking year. In 2018, the gubernatorial campaign between Gov. Kate Brown and Knute Buehler broke records with more than $37 million in spending. Ad after ad. Sign after sign, that’s just what you see on a day-to-day basis, but every single one has a cost.

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Christine Drazan leads the state in spending this month.

The state’s lack of limits means every political year sees millions of dollars pouring into campaigns at all levels of government.

Oregon independent gubernatorial candidate Betsy Johnson, formerly a longtime Democratic lawmaker, has secured donations from a notable list of major Republican campaign donors.

The proposal would open the door for a wide array of campaign finance regulations in Oregon, currently one of the most permissive states in the country.

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.
