If a candidate running for Oregon office is 100% funded by its citizens then that candidate will receive an *Star Emblem* next to their name on the voting pamphlet. That emblem will represent 100% pure.
We are going encourage all Oregonians to only vote for candidates the are 100% funded by the people. No SuperPACS. No Dark Money. No Millionaire backing. No Corporate millions.
Strict Public Financing of Campaigns will be one of our core issues to get implemented.
Public financing of elections would help to make sure that no particular donor, SuperPAC or corporation has a heavy influence on the outcome of any election.
Although States cannot require candidates to use public financing programs, we can make it clearly known (without showing any favoritism) who exactly is publicly funded and who is not.
Small donor public financing is the way to go.
When someone is 100% funded by the people then they are 100% working for the people and will have no influence or conflict of interest.
