Candidate information available for May 15 primary
Ballots for the May 15, 2018 primary election are arriving in the mailboxes of Oregon’s registered voters.
OFIR has now posted information on the immigration positions of many candidates running in the primary. Please take a moment to look over the information before you fill out your ballot.
The offices for which informational reports are available on the OFIR website are:
Commissioner of Labor and Industries
Oregon House candidates (HD 09, HD 18, HD 19, HD 20, HD 23, HD 26)
Oregon Senate candidates (SD 3, SD 4)
Much of the information came from answers to questions in the 2018 survey of the Oregon Abigail Adams Voter Education Project. It contained a list of questions covering many political issues, including three questions on immigration policy for Governor and Legislative candidates and six questions for Congressional candidates.
See the OAAVEP immigration questions listed in OFIR’s Overview for the Primary. Other candidate information came from candidates’ websites, news articles, and official (OLIS) records of votes by incumbent legislators.
