Candidate Questionnaire

Home

The Independent Party Caucus will be deciding over the summer which candidates to nominate for the November 2008 General Election. We will also be offering endorsements in one or more promary elections, including the Democratic Primary for Secretary of State. Candidates who are interested in running for public office, or in seeking the endorsement of the Independent Party, should fill out the following questionnaire, which will be sent to members of the nominating caucus.

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 The 1908 limits were repealed by the Oregon Legislature in 1973.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 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.
