If the measure 6 process for public funding of campaigns is approved it will certainly happen. And that is not all. Every ideologue or self-promoter will be using tax money to run for public office in Oregon. The number varies by office but as few as three hundred gets you started. A person could stand at the super market in a weekend and qualify for the taxpayers' money.
Many people find campaign advertising misleading, offensive and objectionable.
Flooding our campaigns with candidates promoting extremist agenda's paid for with tax money will not improve Oregon's election process. It may well discourage voter participation while providing self-promotion to fringe candidates for every imaginable cause. Measure 6 must be defeated It will not improve Oregon's election system. Oregon's political system is not corrupt. Those who serve in our legislature and in state offices do so at great personal sacrifice.
