Campaign Finance Disclosures

IMPORTANT: Under Oregon campaign finance law (ORS Chapter 260), certain contributor information is subject to public disclosure:

  • These reports are public records and will be accessible to anyone through the Oregon Secretary of State’s website.
  • We are legally required to collect and report this information—we cannot accept contributions over $100 without it.

By making a contribution, you acknowledge that your information may become part of the public record as required by Oregon law.
