  • The Riley Reporttm
    THE RILEY REPORTTM Oregon Voter Poll Analysis & Cross Tabulations November 14, 2005 www.rileyresearch.com 9900 S.W. Wilshire, Suite 250, Portland, OR 97225 phone [503] 222-4179 fax [503] 222-4313 INTRODUCTION & METHODOLOGY Riley Research Associates surveyed Oregon voters regarding their opinions on a variety of current subjects. The scientific telephone poll was conducted among 476 registered voters throughout the state. In this recent voter survey, participants needed to have voted in at least one of the past two (primary and general) elections. A sample of 476 provides accuracy to within +/-4.49 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Fielding took place between October 18th and 25th 2005. A slightly high proportion of women participated, resulting in the decision to weight the sample, to achieve a 53/47 split of women to men as reflective of the voter list. Results may slightly under-represent younger and cell phone-only households, who remain somewhat elusive in traditional phone surveys. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Oregon’s 2006 Race for Governor – Primary Choices Democrats In our last poll (August 2005), incumbent Governor Ted Kulongoski had a decisive edge, well ahead of other Democrat challengers. However, while a large proportion of Democrats is undecided (36 percent), the possible entry of former governor John Kitzhaber has radically changed the Democrats’ primary election landscape: • Kitzhaber (29 percent) and Kulongoski (27 percent) are statistically tied • No one else cracks double-digits • Kitzhaber does especially well among

During that election cycle, the two candidates raised more than $8.7 million, a record1 that will likely be broken in 2006 as both Kulongoski and Mannix face challengers in the May 16 primary. Because so many of the potential candidates have run for state office in the past, it is possible to predict where they may turn in the future for the financial support that will be crucial to their efforts. In races with contested primaries, candidates are locked in a battle over cash long before voters are aware of the particular candidates. Often, a candidacy is not considered viable unless the candidate demonstrates an ability to attract campaign donors. This is especially true in the Oregon race, because so many candidates have expressed an interest in running and because the race promises to be expensive.

  • Women's Equal Rights in Oregon and the 1973 Legislative Session
    Beyond Suffrage Women’s Equal Rights in Oregon and the 1973 Legislative Session This curriculum may be successfully used with or without a museum visit. Developed by Sarah AndersonOregon inHistorical consultation Society with Nevertheless, OHS staff and They advisory Persisted board. Curriculum • Page 1 Beyond Suffrage Overview Students learn about the coalition of women in the 1973 Oregon legislature who successfully passed laws to address sex discrimination in social institutions, including financial institutions, heath care institutions, cultural/social organizations, and government. Students analyze primary documents from the legislative session to gain greater insight into the types of discrimination faced by women at the time and the coalition’s priorities and political strategies. Learning Objectives › Students understand that sex discrimination existed/exists in Oregon; they can explain how women have used both activism and legislation to address it. › Students gain familiarity with legislative documents and vocabulary. › Students can analyze and interpret primary sources. Guiding Questions › How can legislation address the systemic oppression of traditionally marginalized groups in Oregon and the United States? › What strategies have Oregonians used to achieve greater equality for women in various social institutions? How was race considered, or not considered, by these activists and legislators? › How do the legislative successes of the past lay the groundwork for increased gender equality today? Background Oregon ratified the Equal Rights Amendment in February 1973, Information the 25th state to do so. The decision to ratify was galvanized by a bi-partisan group of female lawmakers (see below). There were 11 women in the Oregon legislature in 1973, comprising 12.2 percent of the body.
