Former Democratic lawmaker Brian Clem of Salem is preparing to spend $1 million to try to elect centrist Democrats to the Legislature, campaign finance filings show.

He gave that sum Sunday to a political action committee he created in 2022 to carry out that aim. The contribution is the second largest in Oregon this year, behind the $2 million that Nike co-founder Phil Knight gave to a Republican-aligned political action committee last month.
