Submitted by DavidDelk on Tue, 10/30/2018 - 00:23
Oregon elections awash in special interest money. Just look at the governor race. This race is spending 50% more than the last most expensive governor race. WOW! Time to limit campaign contributions.
Update on Oregon Governor Race Engulfed in Record-Breaking Tidal Wave of Money
Brown and Buehler Spending Now Over $30 Million Total, Smashing Previous Record of $20 million
Oregon is one of only 5 states with no limits on political campaign contributions; the others are Alabama, Nebraska, Utah, and Virginia. One result is this year's record-breaking spending by candidates for Governor of Oregon. Both candidates are relying upon huge contributions that would be illegal in 40 other states.
As of 7 days ago, the Kate Brown campaign has reported raising $13.9 million, while the Knute Buehler campaign has raised $16.5 million. Both campaigns have raised only 10% of its funds from contributions of under $200.
