“That means Voters for Responsive Government, which was formed as a political action committee in April, must have taken in all of the donations fueling its multi-million dollar campaign against Jayapal in the three weeks before the election – past the April 30 deadline that would have required the group to disclose its backers before Oregon’s May 21 primary.”
Thats neat, my county doesn’t even have really any information about the people running for office online. I guess some counties are much bigger stakes than others.
Everyone should have been in the Voter’s Pamphlet, that’s a state-wide thing.
Yeah I’m not in Oregon, in my state voters get to read the name on the ballot and that’s all the prep they get. Anything else they learn is from voter outreach.
Honestly weird that in this day and age you could have a campaign for county commissioner and not even a mention of you online, right?
Oh, definitely, but even before we went 100% vote by mail in 2000, there were voters pamphlets.
Which state are you in? You’d think there’d be a website or something.
Here’s ours:

I get it, I have the same name as an actor who popped up in Star Trek. When his name hit the credits, my phone didn’t stop ringing for 3 hours. LOL.

Anyway… a SURPRISING number of states don’t do voters pamphlets.
