OPP Endorses Brad Avakian in Sec. of State Primary
Avakian Endorses IP-77 Statewide Measure for Oregon Campaign Finance Constitutional Amendment
Brad Avakian, a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for Secretary of State of Oregon, has sought and received the endorsement of the Oregon Progressive Party (OPP) in the primary election.
Avakian has endorsed IP-77, a proposed statewide ballot measure that would amend the Oregon Constitution to allow limits on campaign contributions and expenditures and mandatory “taglines” on political advertisements, identifying their major funders.
While Oregon has the same “free speech” clause as 36 other states, the Oregon Supreme Court is the only state court anywhere in America that has concluded that it somehow prevents governments from adopting limits on political contributions. Further, the Oregon Legislature’s attorney (“Legislative Counsel) last year called into question whether requiring political ads to identify their funders is somehow also negated by the same “free speech” clause — again a unique interpretation. Eight states already require political ads to list their major funders, including California and Washington.
“Among the Democratic candidates, Brad Avakian is most attuned to the value of minor parties and the competition they provide for the Democrats and Republicans,” said Jason Kafoury, Secretary of the Oregon Progressive Party. “He is also the only one who has endorsed IP-77, and that is very important to us.”
Oregon Progressive Party members cannot vote in the Democratic primary, unless they change their registrations to Democratic by April 26. Doing that, however, can jeopardize the continued existence of the Oregon Progressive Party, which needs to maintain a certain level of membership in order to be recognized as a political party under Oregon law. “If you switch your registration to Democrat in order to vote for Bernie Sanders, please switch it back to Progressive Party after the May 17 primary,” added David Delk, Chair of OPP.
