PETITION 9 TO GET BIG MONEY OUT OF OREGON POLITICS
Picture

​Initiative Petition 9 (for the November 2024 ballot) limits campaign money, requires that political spenders identify their real sources of money and list those sources on their advertisements. 

Oregon voters by a margin of 78% to 22% in 2020 called on the government to adopt limits on campaign contributions and to show voters where political money is really coming from.  The Oregon Legislature has not done that.  So We the People must act.

Major Provisions of Initiative Petition 9 (2024):

​1.     Contribution Limits
  • Limits contributions to candidates, political committees ("PACs") and political parties to support or oppose any candidate for state or local government office
  • Bans such contributions by for-profit corporations
  • Individuals and political committees (“PACs”) may contribute:
    • $2,000 to candidate for statewide office 
    • $1,000 to candidate for any other state office 
    • $500 to candidate for local government office 
  • Small Donor Committees, funded only by contributions of $250 per year or less from individuals, may contribute:
    • $20,000 to candidate for statewide office 
    • $10,000 to candidate for any other state office 
    • $5,000 to candidate for local government office 
  • Prohibits any person or entity from creating or controlling multiple entities for purposes of increasing allowable contributions

2.     Shining a Light on Dark Money
  • Requires campaigns, including dark money groups, to name their largest 4 funders in their ads
  • Makes large campaign spenders and contributors reveal the true original sources of the funds
  • Requires faster public disclosure of large contributions and independent expenditures

3.     Other Provisions
  • Removes exception in Oregon bribery laws that legalizes bribery with campaign contributions
  • limits candidates' carry-over of funds from one election to another, so incumbents cannot amass war chests of money that discourage other candidates
  • requires more campaign finance information in printed and online Voters' Pamphlets
  • increases penalties for campaign finance violations
  • modifies system for enforcement of campaign finance violations so that final decisions (including "no violation" decisions) are not made by partisan elected officials without judicial review
