State Voters' Pamphlet Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon General Election November 4, 2014 Kate Brown Oregon Secretary of State This voters’ pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION JIM WILLIAMS KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 ROBERT TAYLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters, I’m pleased to present the 2014 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet. Inside you will find valuable information about ballot measures that will affect your rights, as well as candidates who would like to represent you. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until October 14 to do so. Paper registration forms must be received by your county elections office by 5 p.m. You can register online until 11:59 p.m. by visiting www.oregonvotes.gov. As Oregonians, we are fortunate to live in a state that has removed many barriers to voting. We make it easier for voters serving in the military and voters living overseas to get access to a ballot. We use tablets and computers to make it easier for voters with disabilities to cast ballots. And we deliver a ballot in the mail to every registered Oregonian. It’s your decision whether to mail in the ballot or drop it off in person. As your Secretary of State, I encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their fundamental right to vote. I also urge Oregonians to inform themselves about ballot measures and candidates. Read arguments on both sides of the measures. Learn where candidates stand on issues that matter to you. That’s where the Voters’ Pamphlet comes in. It is a great source of information to help you make informed decisions in this election. Every county in Oregon should strive to have the highest voter participation rate – and it’s up to each and every voter to do their part by voting. In the 2014 Primary Election, I challenged voters in Oregon’s 36 counties to earn the distinction of having the highest voter participation rate in Oregon - and Grant County voters won that challenge! Congratulations to Grant County voters, and let’s see which county wins the challenge for this General Election. Four years ago in the last gubernatorial election, Wheeler County led the state with an 84.5% turnout. Not far behind were Wallowa with 82.5% and Harney with 81.4% turnout. So in this 2014 General Election, I encourage you to look to the people of Wheeler, Wallowa and Harney counties as models. Vote! Be heard! And help your county earn the honor of having the highest voter participation rate in Oregon! Please remember that all ballots must be received by your county elections office by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Postmarks do not count. If you have questions, please call our toll free hotline at 1-866-ORE-VOTE, or visit our website at www.oregonvotes.gov.

  • Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks
    oregon.gov http://www.oregon.gov/gov/media_room/pages/speechess2011/0110_inaugural_remarks.aspx Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks So I guess none of you could get tickets to the game either. Before I begin I would like to pause to offer my heartfelt thanks, my own and on behalf of Oregon to Governor Ted Kulongoski. I don't believe that another person in the history of this state who found more ways to express his love for and commitment to Oregon and its people: Marine, Legislator, Insurance Commissioner, Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice and Governor. But these official positions only scratch the surface of his good works and those good works have made a great difference. Throughout his lifetime of service he has never for a moment forgotten his roots; lost his empathy for those who struggle or failed to preserve. Today may mark the end of his term as Governor, but if anyone thinks this is the end of his working for a better Oregon, well, they don't know Ted Kulongoski. He has governed well during very difficult times, marked by war as well as the recession. I am proud to have served with him. We are gathered here today at a sobering and humbling moment in Oregon's history: sobering because of the task before us; humbling because our fellow citizens have chosen us to find a way forward, and to forge a better future for our state and for our people. We face high unemployment; a divided state; and a projected budget deficit of $3.5 billion - about 20% of our General Fund.
