Among the thousands of proposals Oregon lawmakers are considering this year, few have as clear-cut a mandate as capping campaign contributions.
Voters overwhelmingly signaled their desire to clamp down on Oregon’s no-limits political money system in November, when they passed a constitutional amendment to allow donation limits 78% to 22%. More than 1.7 million people voted for it, the most ever to support a ballot measure according to the Secretary of State’s office.
