The Candidates
Although Oregon Action endorsements are nonpartisan, we must acknowledge that every election, the number of moderate Republicans whose record can win our endorsement is shrinking. This is not due to a change in our position, but in a radicalization of the state Republican party that is forcing moderates out. We encourage our many Republican members to engage in party primaries to work to restore more moderates to office and to party leadership.

Could you be an OA leader?

Any Oregon Action member can become a leader by attending OA meetings and trainings and by volunteering on our campaigns. Oregon Action is committed to leadership development and training, because that is how we become stronger and more effective. Please join us.
