Update on candidates in November 2018 election
September 16, 2018
The Oregon Abigail Adams Voter Education Project continues to add more information to its comparison chart on immigration issues.
Their Comparison Guide on Immigration covers candidates for Governor, Oregon Senate and Oregon House.
It now incorporates incumbents' votes in the 2017 Oregon Legislature on HB 3464. HB 3464, granting “privacy” to illegal aliens, sheltering them from questions about their immigration status, passed on July 6, 2017, the next to last day of the session. It had been rushed through the Legislature with only one public hearing, June 8.
Please take a look at the current OAAVEP postings on immigration:
OFIR’s earlier summary of candidate positions contains some information not in the OAAVEP Comparison Guide. See OFIR’s earlier summary here.
Regarding candidates for Governor, the OAAVEP Guide does not include candidate Buehler’s support for repealing ORS 181A.820 (Measure 105). Knute Buehler announced publicly in July that he will vote for Measure 105. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/07/republican_knute_buehler_says.html
During his two terms in the Oregon Legislature, he consistently voted against benefits to illegal aliens.
