Dear Oregon Voter, The information this Voters’ Pamphlet provides is designed to assist you in participating in the May 15, 2018, Primary Election. Primary Elections provide the opportunity for members of all major political parties to select the nominee who will represent each party in the November General Election. The state-wide offices on the ballot this year are Governor, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, Judge of the Supreme Court, and Judge of the Court of Appeals. There are also races for your Congressional Representative and your State Representative. Only half of the State Senate seats are up for election this year as State Senators serve four-year terms. You will also see a number of other contests on your ballot ranging from circuit court judges and District Attorneys to county and city offices. For the first time, every qualified political party, major and minor, in Oregon will be permitted to provide a Voters’ Pamphlet statement about their party. The major political parties in Oregon— Democratic, Independent, and Republican—will use this Primary Election to select their nominees for the November Election. Minor political parties—Constitution, Libertarian, Pacific Green, Progres- sive, and Working Families—select their nominees in various ways according to each minor party’s regulations. For the 2018 Primary Election, the Independent Party of Oregon has chosen to allow voters who are not affiliated with a political party to participate in the Independent Party’s primary. I encourage you to study the issues, make your voice heard, and participate in all elections. You can find out if you are registered to vote, or update your address or political party at www.oregonvotes. gov/myvote. If you are not registered to vote, you must register by April 24 to be eligible to vote in the May 15, 2018, Primary Election. You can register online at www.oregonvotes.gov/register. Beginning April 25, ballots will be mailed from every county elections office. After you have filled out your ballot, make sure it is physically received by your county elections office by 8:00 pm on May 15. Remember, postmarks do not count. You can return your ballot through the mail or take it to one of the many drop boxes throughout the state. To track your ballot or to find your nearest drop box, visit www.oregonvotes.gov/myvote. If you have questions about voter registration, filling out your ballot, or getting a replacement ballot, please call our toll-free hotline, 1-866-673-8683 or call your county election official. As your Secretary of State, I encourage every eligible Oregonian to register and vote in this and every election. I am committed to making voting easy, convenient, and secure. If you have any questions please give us a call. Sincerely,

Dennis Richardson Oregon Secretary of State Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election May 15, 2018

Constitution Party The Constitution Party of Oregon maintains that our true heritage is freedom. Constitution Party members recognize that our nation was founded by God-fearing men wanting freedom from human tyranny, so they could obey the dictates of their consciences in accordance with the Bible. They applied the principles of the Declaration of Independence when constructing the Republic spelled out in the Constitution of the United States. We acknowledge that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. We concur with those who framed the Oregon Constitution in the late 1850’s. They said in Article I, Section 1, “... all men, when they form a social compact are equal in right: that all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded upon their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness...” We will lead the way back to the foundations of America’s greatness, nominating and/or supporting candidates who are com- mitted to these foundational principles: Our rights are inalienable, coming from the hand of the Creator. They are not given to us by ourselves or by government. These rights include the right to life from conception until natural death, the right to own property, and the right to choose how to live that life and use that property, without violating the rights of others as determined by a jury of their peers. Government is Divinely instituted to protect our rights by punishing evildoers and encouraging righteous behavior. Our system of laws is based on the Judeo-Christian moral code. The one known as the Father of the Constitution, James Madison, told his generation that they had staked the whole future of American Civilization and all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government according to the Ten Commandments. Our nation is a sovereign nation, one nation under God. We must steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world and we must maintain a strong national defense. The powers of the federal government in our Republic are restricted to those specifically granted in the Constitution of the United States. That Constitution is not an instrument for government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and our interests. The Bill of Rights appended to our Constitution has a reminder to the national government that it has only the powers delegated to it by ‘We the people’ through the Constitution. This then is our heritage, a heritage that in the past has produced a moral environment with unparalleled individual liberty and economic prosperity, a heritage that has been the envy of the nations of the world. It is a heritage worthy of our efforts to rebuild. We ask you to vote your conscience when electing new guardians for your future peace, safety and happiness. We remain con- vinced that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil and will not recover our heritage. We are raising a standard around which the wise and honest can rally, believing that the events of history are in the hands of God. The Constitution Party honors that heritage by nominating candidates who believe in our heritage. Look for them this fall on the General Election Ballot. Remember, if you don’t honor them with your vote, the candidates you really want can never win.

Democratic Party The Democratic Party of Oregon is nearly one million strong, fighting for progress and helping elect Democrats from all corners of our state. There are several core beliefs that tie our party together: Democrats believe that we’re greater together than we are on our own—that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. Our party is focused on building an economy that lifts up all Americans, not just those at the top. That’s why Democrats are working to make progress on issues like job creation, equal pay, education, health care, and clean energy. In Oregon, Democrats have led the nation on resisting the Trump agenda, refusing to cede to his dark vision for our nation’s future. We’ve passed legislation to support working families by increasing the minimum wage and providing paid sick leave, we’ve been a trailblazer on access to the ballot by implementing Oregon Motor Voter and online registration, and we continue to fight for all Oregonians, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, or ability. This election cycle, Democrats are poised to grow our majorities in Salem, return Governor Kate Brown to office, and elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Oregon’s Democratic congressional delegation well represents our values in D.C. and we are proud to stand behind Senator Ron Wyden, Senator Jeff Merkley, and our Democratic representatives. We invite all Oregonians to join us in affirming our determination that Oregon become a beacon of opportunity, tolerance, and freedom. Democratic Party of Oregon 232 NE 9th Ave Portland OR 97232 Phone: (503) 224-8200 Web: www.dpo.org 16 Political Party Statements | Independent Party

Independent Party The Independent Party of Oregon (IPO) was formed 11 years ago to provide greater representation for the 50-60 percent of Oregonians who feel neglected by the Democrats and Republicans. We have grown into Oregon’s third largest party, with over 120,000 members. We believe ordinary citizens don’t have enough influence over government policy. Government is not accountable, and politics has become too partisan and dominated by special interests and their money. There is not enough problem-solving. We work to: • Oppose spending on inefficient government programs. • Reduce special interest and “big money” influence over all government processes. • Increase transparency in government, especially on how tax dollars are spent. • Protect Oregon consumers from ripoffs and abuse. • Improve education and job training opportunities for Oregonians. • Provide incentives for business creation and expansion in Oregon, but only if the incentives return greater public benefit than they cost. We have led several fights in the Oregon Legislature for effective disclosure of campaign contributions, for transparency in government, and for more citizen participation in elections. 2018 PLATFORM Our 2018 expanded platform (www.indparty.com/platform) is based on our member surveys. Our goal is to align public poli- cies with the priorities of ordinary citizens in the areas of health care, education, campaign and ethics reform, and environmen- tal policy. For more policies, see our past Voters’ Pamphlet statements at www.indparty.com/vp. COMMUNITY BASED CANDIDATES We support candidates who have the backing and trust of their local communities, not the special interests that dominate the Republican and Democratic agendas. These special interests accounted for 97 percent of the $133 million spent on Oregon political campaigns in 2016 and most of the $31 million spent on state-level lobbying. In contrast, our small-donor democracy program provides support services for first time candidates. GET INVOLVED. BE A CANDIDATE. Contact IPO Secretary Sal Peralta at 503.437.2833 or [email protected]. THIS ELECTION If you are a non-affiliated voter, you can vote in the IPO primary (under state law) only if you request the IPO ballot. See ww.indparty.com/nav. If you are an IPO member, you automatically get the IPO primary ballot in the mail.

We support Marc Koller for the 3rd Congressional District IPO nomination. If your IPO primary ballot has a blank instead of candidate names for some races, find and write in a candidate who supports the IPO agenda: www.indparty.com/writeins. WE ARE HAVING AN IMPACT In 2017, we began urging the Oregon Legislature to strengthen regulations on industrial polluters. Neither the Republicans nor Democrats would confront large pollution emitters. 3/4ths of all industrial polluters in Oregon were operating under invalid permits that in some cases were decades old. The EPA in 2015 revealed that Multnomah County and Portland are among the 1 to 2 percent worst places in America for airborne illness – including lung cancer – due to the high levels of pollution from industrial and vehicle emissions, particularly diesel trucks. After a 2018 audit by Oregon’s Secretary of State revealed that the state’s Department of Environmental Quality was failing to meet its core regulatory functions, a coalition succeeded in passing the first major overhaul of the state’s regulation of industrial polluters in more than two decades. We have also led the way in stopping the Legislature from making Oregon’s campaign finance laws even worse. The Center for Public Integrity in 2015 ranked Oregon’s campaign finance system as the worst in America – except for Mississippi.

Libertarian Party The Libertarian Difference Do you dislike both the Democratic and Republican parties? Did you vote for someone promising hope and change, then get more of the same? Did you vote for someone promising to make America great again, only to get coarse morals and a foolish trade war? Did you vote for someone who promised affordable housing, but then supported policies that restricted supply and subsidized demand? Are the Democratic and Republican candidates living up to their promises and your expectations? Would you vote for them again, or only against someone who seems even worse? If you want something different, you need to support something different – join the Libertarian party, and vote for Libertarian candidates! The Libertarian Party of Oregon conducts its own primary election without taxpayer funding, unlike the major par- ties who use your tax dollars to benefit themselves. Our members will receive a separate Libertarian ballot to select candidates to advance to the general election. For three elections in a row, the Libertarian Party of Oregon has nominated more candidates for public office than all other minor parties combined. We are the only political party offering you a true alternative to the Democrats who think they know how to spend your money better than you do, and to the Republicans who outlaw what they think are bad decisions. Libertarians are not right or left or center, but we stand on principle and champion your freedom to do what you want with both your life and your money. Libertarian Party Statement of Principles We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual. We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in what- ever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose. Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent. We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual, namely: 1. the right to life – accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others; 2. the right to liberty of speech and action – accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form; and 3. the right to property – accordingly we oppose all government interference with private property, such as confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation. Since governments, when instituted, must not violate individual rights, we oppose all interference by government in the areas of voluntary and contractual relations among individuals. People should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by government to deal with one another as free traders; and the resultant economic system, the only one compatible with the protection of individual rights, is the free market. Be A Libertarian If these principles appeal to you, we invite you to switch your voter registration to “Libertarian” to join the cause of advanc- ing liberty and freedom. There are never any dues or fees required to participate in our elections or conventions, or to be a candidate for public office, and party leadership is directly elected by our members. There are many opportunities for true grassroots activism.

Pacific Green Party THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION CONTINUES WITH THE GREEN PARTY In fact, it started with us.

Progressive Party We fight for economic justice, human rights, environmental protection, and grassroots democracy. WE OPPOSE: the corruption of elections by big money, Wall Street bailouts, the continuing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, “corporate personhood,” and NAFTA, WTO, and other “free trade” deals that let corporations override policies to protect labor, the environment, and consumers. WE SUPPORT: real campaign finance reform, Medicare for All, equal rights (including same-sex marriage), $15 minimum wage for all (now), and effective gun control.

Democratic Republican Progressive Real campaign finance reform, particularly in Oregon NO NO YES End “corporate personhood” & constitutional rights for corporations NO NO YES “Medicare for All” comprehensive health care NO NO YES Oppose cuts in Social Security & Medicare benefits WEAK NO STRONG Increase minimum wage to living wage ($15 or more now) NO NO YES Employment for all (public works projects, WPA style) NO NO YES Increase income taxes on big corporations and the wealthy NO NO YES Strictly regulate toxic air pollution, including diesel emissions NO NO YES Tax emissions that cause global warming NO NO YES Elect the President by popular vote (not electoral college) NO NO YES Oppose Wall Street bailouts NO NO YES Repair, improve infrastructure (transit, water systems, etc.) WEAK NO STRONG Oppose wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria NO NO YES Slash military spending and foreign bases NO NO YES Clean energy; no nuclear subsidies NO NO YES No fossil fuel exports from Pacific Northwest ports NO NO YES Oppose offshore oil & gas drilling NO NO YES Require labeling of genetically engineered food NO NO YES Remember: Democrats controlled the Presidency and had 60% majorities in both Houses of Congress (2009-10) and did nothing about gun control. OREGON ISSUES Real Campaign Finance Reform: Oregon Democrats and Republicans have never enacted limits on political campaign contribu- tions but have repealed voter-enacted limits 3 times. Campaign spending for Oregon state offices has skyrocketed from $4 million in 1996 to over $50 million in 2016. The State Integrity Investigation of the Center for Public Integrity in 2015 graded Oregon an overall “F” in systems to avoid government corruption. Oregon ranked 2nd worst of 50 states in control of “Political Financing,” beating only Mississippi. THE OREGONIAN (2010) reported that Oregon candidates spend more on campaigns for the State Legislature, per capita, than anywhere other than New Jersey. Spending on such Oregon races has increased 50% since then. The average spent in 2014 by the top 10 Oregon Senate candidates was $750,000 each; spent in 2016 by the top 10 Oregon House candidates was $825,000 each. Some spent over $70 per vote. Oregon rates low on disclosure of funders of political ads. The Corporate Reform Coalition (75 progressive organizations) concluded that only 6 states have worse systems for disclosing independent expenditures. Oregon = “F” in disclosure; Washington = “A” Now, 10 states require that political ads identify their top funders, but not Oregon. Get Involved with State & Local Campaign Finance Reform: honest-elections.com. Invest in Oregon: The State Treasurer should direct part of Oregon’s $89 billion of investment funds to invest in public works and jobs for Oregonians instead of investing in vulture capitalists, corporate raiders, leveraged buyout artists, and fossil fuel corporations and vendors. Fair Taxation: Oregon has the 4th highest income taxes of any state on lower-income working families and remains lowest in taxes on corporations—the source of most campaign contributions in Oregon.

Republican Party The Oregon Republican Party is working for all Oregonians by promoting limited government, lower taxes, and personal responsibility. We ask you to join our party and support our candidates because these basic policies improve our nation for everyone. Limiting government gives everyone the opportunity to achieve success. Lowering taxes gives you the opportunity to keep the money you earn and obtain your dreams. Personal responsibility teaches people not to be dependent on the government thereby maximizing freedom for all. We’re proud to be the majority party in many parts of Oregon, but we need your help to implement our policies statewide. Join us as a volunteer, a precinct committee person, or help us promote Republican Principles. What is a PCP? The 650,000 registered Oregon Republicans are the grassroots heart of the Republican Party of Oregon. Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen are chosen from among that 650,000 to organize advocacy for Republican political principles in their Oregon neighborhoods and communities and support for Republican candidates for office. The PCPs also control the state Republican party (ORP). They elect the office holders in their county Republican Committees, who, in turn, set policy for and elect the officials of the Oregon State Republican Party. The PCPs also select delegates to the state and national Republican conventions. PCPs and the County Officers whom they elect are the primary organizing and directing force for the thousands of additional Republican volunteers who arise from the electorate to work on behalf of Republican principles and candidates. What are Republican Principles? Republican principles are timeless. They have been found to be the best way for people to live together, while exercising their fundamental individual rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That happiness – the pursuit of the greatest enjoyment of the blessings of a human life – requires protection for life, liberty, private property, and common sense ethical principles. These principles are established in the founding documents of our Constitutional Republic. Individual Republicans express these principles in many ways and live their lives in a wide variety of manners that are enabled by American freedom. Individual Republicans hold, with variations, most of the following views: • The strength of our nation lies with the individual. Each person’s dignity, freedom, ability, and responsibility must be protected and honored. • Equal rights, law and order, equal justice and equal opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability must be preserved. • Free enterprise has made America a land of opportunity, economic growth, and prosperity. Come join the Oregon Republican Party, be part of the political process, be part of our winning team. Please register as a Republican and become an active citizen. Join us, for a better Oregon!

Working Families Party What is the Working Families Party? The Working Families Party is fighting for a better future for Oregon. One where the economy works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well connected. One where politicians are accountable to working people, instead of corporate lobbyists. One where all of us, no matter where we come from, urban and rural, coast to eastern Oregon, can find a good job, get healthcare when we need it, afford a home, send our kids to good schools including a debt free college education, and have a secure retirement. We’re about improving the economy for working people. This is our number-one, number-two, and number-three priority. We fight for new jobs, living wages, workers’ rights including the right of unions to bargain collectively, affordable childcare, better education, health care for everyone, fair work schedules and a government that listens to working families, not big corporations or other high-powered special interests. How do we make sure that politicians listen to us? The Working Families Party is a minor political party that uses fusion voting, which allows us to cross-nominate candidates from major parties if they agree to support our values and our issues. If not, we can run our own candidates, but we prefer not to be spoilers or to waste your vote. We try to use our place on the ballot strategically. We research the records of all candidates running for office in Oregon – for city, county, state and federal offices – Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We ask them questions about specific issues. Then we support the ones with a commitment to standing up for the bread and butter economic issues that really matter to working- and middle-class families. What does it mean when you see “Working Families” next to a candidate’s name? It means you know that they have our seal of approval – and you can vote for them with the confidence that they will do the best job of fighting for working people. What issues will we ask Working Families Party candidates to champion while in office? During the 2019 legislative session we are asking WFP electeds to address issues including: campaign finance reform, paid family and medical leave, to fight mandatory arbitration in employment and consumer contracts, putting Oregon’s money to work creating jobs here in Oregon and fighting for fair trade policies on a federal level. Join us! The Working Families Party is the electoral arm of the Resistance. We are working to create a party that represents all working people, of all races, gender identification, and immigrant status. We want to work together to develop a people’s platform that will bring about positive economic and social change; that will reject the false populism and racist vitriol of the Trump era. Vote for WFP-nominated candidates to send a message that these issues are important, and help us build an organization that can truly represent working people in Oregon politics.

From stopping skyrocketing healthcare costs to tackling our $22 billions PERS liability that threatens to sink school districts and local governments, I am ready to be your voice in Salem to face these issues head-on. Protecting Our Economy The Great Recession is over, but too many working families still live paycheck to paycheck. Wages are stagnant while inflation rises. Instead of using our historically high tax revenues to fund already bloated state budgets, we need to invest in small businesses and help them create more family-wage jobs in our community. I pledge to protect small businesses from future tax hikes and vote no on taxes that raise the price of everyday necessities like gas, groceries, and utilities.

Better Outcomes for Students Oregon has some of the lowest graduation rates in the country and schools that fail to prepare our students for the jobs of the future. We need more dollars in the classroom where teachers can use advances in technology and innova- tion to help students achieve their potential. By empowering students to learn in creative ways we can set them up for suc- cess in careers that help them prosper and give their future families the best quality of life possible.

She’s smart, hard-working, and passionate about our community.” Tessa Scheller, Clatsop Community College Board Tiffiny Mitchell for State Representative The True Progressive We Need for Oregon’s North Coast As a working-class Oregonian, I know what it means to have student loans, trying to afford a roof over your head and working hard to make ends meet and get ahead. I moved to the coast with my husband because we love the natural beauty and progressive values; but it is getting harder for families to find good jobs with benefits, reliable housing and the schools kids need. As your State Representative I will work to protect vulnerable children, women’s reproductive health, the LGBT community, and fair wages for all working families. I’m Fighting For • Housing We Can Afford: We need more housing at all income levels. I will fight to end no-cause evictions and massive rent hikes. • Access to Healthcare: Access is affordability - and we still have work to do. And all women need to have control of their own bodies. Period. • Stable Funding for Education: Stable funding for all levels of education will mean a better trained workforce and a stronger local economy. • Clean Air and Water: I will protect our coast from offshore drilling, a threat to our environment, economy, and way of life. • Equal Pay for Equal Work: The fight for pay equity isn’t over. We need to ensure women aren’t being underval- ued in the workplace. “Tiffiny is the champion we need for all levels of education, and she knows how important the community college is to our local economy. She will fight for students of all ages and backgrounds who are pursuing a better future.” Melissa Ousley, College Counselor www.TiffinyForOregon.com (This information furnished by Tiffiny Mitchell for Oregon.) 50 Candidates | Democratic Party Candidates

State Representative, 38th District Andrea Salinas Democrat

Occupation: State Representative Occupational Background: Government Affairs Educational Background: BA Psychology, University of California, Berkeley Prior Governmental Experience: Legislative Aide, U.S. Congressman Pete Stark; District Aide, U.S. Congresswoman Darlene Hooley For more than 20 years, including the past seven months serving as Oregon’s House District 38 Representative, I have been on the front lines, working to protect and pass policies that help women and children, working people, seniors and the environment. As a working mom to my daughter Amelia, a seventh grader at LO Junior High, I know how important a strong community plays in our children’s education. When racism and bigotry in our schools made headlines in our last election, I took my ethic of hard work and led by example. I co-founded LO for LOve to teach our children that diversity, inclusion and kind- ness are values we lead with in Lake Oswego. I know how to get things done in our state Capitol. I’ve worked along side our elected officials to help provide Oregon families with a fair shot by increasing the minimum wage, fighting climate change and leading the efforts to pass the nation’s most comprehensive reproductive health care bill in 2017. I do this work because for too many Oregonians, the cards are stacked against them. Wages aren’t keeping up, college is becoming increasingly out of reach and health care con- sumes a bigger chunk of families’ take-home pay and small business profits. I’m dedicated. I’m committed. I’m a hard worker. I am proud of the amount of sweat equity I have put toward making Oregon a better state for all. I’m ready to continue to lead as your State Representative, and doing it in a way that brings people along, leaving the door open, reaching out to lift others up and bringing more chairs to the table. This is the type of leadership we need in Oregon’s State Capitol. I ask for your vote for State Representative for House District 38. (This information furnished by Friends of Andrea Salinas.)

Judge of the Circuit Court, 20th District, Position 13 Jim Fun Nonpartisan

Occupation: Circuit Court Judge Occupational Background: Deputy District Attorney, Washington County District Attorney's Office; Private law practice in civil litigation. Educational Background: Willamette University College of Law, J.D.; University of Wyoming, B.S. Prior Governmental Experience: Deputy District Attorney (1990-2006) During my 12 years of service as a trial court judge in Washington County, I have presided over criminal, civil, juvenile and family law cases. Throughout, I have worked to promote fair and effective court proceedings. As a criminal trial court judge, I supervise Washington County's Mental Health Court. This specialized criminal court coordinates the expertise of mental health professionals to support treatment focused court outcomes for individuals that have a serious personal mental illness. For 6 years I have served as the chair of the board of directors for the Washington County affiliate of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) to strengthen community support and education for those caring for a mentally ill family member. As a family law judge involved in disputes over children and property, I also serve as an appointed member of the Oregon State Bar's Professionalism Commission and have spoken at legal seminars to encourage civility and professionalism in court proceedings. Promoting civility and professionalism in court proceedings ensures parties make informed deci- sions, gain meaningful participation in the court process and encourages lawful practices. As a juvenile court judge, I also served on the statewide Juvenile Law and Education Institute to improve consistent practices and policies in juvenile court proceedings. As a member of the Washington County Bench and Bar Committee I worked to improve teenage participation in court hearings and promote foster care placements with family members. My entire career as a lawyer, and as a judge, I have worked to promote fairness in the justice system by strengthening relationships between the judicial system and the commu- nity. I am honored by your support and pledge my continuing commitment to promote integrity and transparency in all court proceedings. (This information furnished by Jim L. Fun.)
