In order to ensure that political contributions in Oregon races can be limited, would you support a state constitutional amendment to enforce the contribution limits that were passed by the voters in 2006?: *

Oregon is one of 3 states that has no limits on campaign contributions. Oregon voters have 3 times by initiative enacted limits on political contributions. The 1908 limits were repealed by the Oregon Legislature in 1973. The 1994 limits were struct down by the Oregon Supreme Court in 1997. In 2006, Oregonians enacted strict limits on contributtions and expenditures, but the Attorney General and Secretary of State are refusing to implement it, even though it is quite different from earlier measures and no part of it has ever been ruled invalid by the courts.

Please briefly describe the three main reasons you are running for public office.: *

Do you support the rights of Oregonians to make laws via the initiative process and/or to nullify laws enacted by the Legislature and local governments via the referendum process? Please explain.: *

Because Oregon has no limits on political spending, campaigns here can be very expensive. How do you plan to fund your campaign?: *

Please give a range of how much you expect to spend on your election and what sources you expect to use. Note: The lack of money does not disqualify you.

We can put you in touch with consultants to help with various campaign services. What might you need help with?: *
