Jeanne P. Atkins 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 JEANNE P. ATKINS DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 ROBERT TAYLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518

Dear Fellow Oregonian, By many accounts, this is one of the most historic election years in recent memory. Whether you are a long time voter or this is your first opportunity to vote, please use this voter guide to find valuable information about the candidates who would like to represent you. This voters’ pamphlet is sent to every household in Oregon. But you must be registered to vote to receive a ballot to cast in the upcoming election. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have a very short window – until April 26th 2016 – to do so. You can also visit oregonvotes.gov to check your registration status. We are fortunate to live in a state that works to get a ballot in the hand of every eligible Oregonian. The Secretary of State’s office is committed to making voting easy and convenient whether you are a first time voter, a voter serving in the military, or a person living with a disability. The health of our democracy depends on your participation. Oregon was the first in the nation to implement an all vote-by-mail system and we consistently have some of the nation’s highest voter turnout rates. This January, we implemented “Oregon Motor Voter” – a program that automatically registers qualified Oregonians to vote when they renew or apply for an Oregon driver’s license, permit, or ID card. Tens of thousands of Oregonians will have their very first opportunity to participate in this election. If you are one of them, let me welcome you to the democratic process! Your vote is your voice and every single voice matters. It’s your decision whether to mail in the ballot or drop it off in person, but please remember that all ballots must be received by your county elections office by 8 p.m. on May 17th, 2016. 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. Oregon is better for your participation in our democracy. Thank you. Sincerely,

Jeanne P. Atkins Oregon Secretary of State Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election May 17, 2016

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 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, 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. • Government must be fiscally responsible and require in taxes only that minimum of the earnings of Americans required to fulfill its Constitutional responsibilities in an efficient and effective manner. • The customs and culture of our nation, especially those that are essential to our families, our professions, and our way of life must be preserved. • In general, everyone should do all that they agree to do, and no one should encroach on other persons or their property. You can help. In this 2016 election campaign, Oregon Republicans will work to elect Republicans to public office throughout Oregon – local candidates, candidates to the Oregon House and Senate, statewide races and candidates to the United States House and Senate. We invite you to become a Republican Party PCP and to work beside us on behalf of good government in our state and nation.
