Our Candidates Did Well in the 2012 General Election
Submitted by info on Wed, 11/07/2012 - 06:36
The Oregon Progressive Party's candidates performed well in the 2012 general election.
Minor parties in Oregon are required to run at least one statewide candidate earning 1% or more of the vote. We ran 3 statewide candidates, and all of them exceeded 1%.
Our candidates for U.S. Representative did even better, earning from 3.1% to 4.2%. We cross-nominated the Democrat, Peter DeFazio, in the 4th Congressional District, and he won with 59% of the vote.
Our Candidate | Office | Vote | |
Rocky Anderson Robert Wolfe Cameron Whitten Chris Henry Steven Reynolds Woody Broadnax Peter DeFazio |
President Secretary of State, Oregon State Treasurer, Oregon Attorney General, Oregon U.S. Representative, 1st Dist U.S. Representative, 3rd Dist U.S. Representative, 4th Dist |
0.2% 1.3% 2.4% 1.7% 4.5% 3.7% 59.1% |
Also, the candidates we endorsed in non-partisan races did well. Brad Avakian won the statewide Labor Commissioner race. Amanda Fritz won re-election to the Portland City Council.
