John,

Earlier this week, Tina hosted a roundtable discussion on campaign finance reform with groups like End Citizens United, Voters Right to Know, and Honest Elections Oregon. Throughout the conversation, Tina had one central message: get big money out of politics.

As Governor, Tina will rein in our campaign finance laws, including limiting campaign contributions from individuals like billionaire Phil Knight who's trying to buy this election by bankrolling both of Tina's conservative opponents' campaigns.

Big-money donors like Phil are working hard to flip Oregon red. They see the recent polling that puts us in a tie with Republican Christine Drazan, and they’re hoping their giant contributions will change the outcome of this race.

But we can out-organize the Republicans with people-power, John. Every time someone makes a contribution, they’re strengthening the campaign from the ground up, and that’s the only way we’re going to win.

So please, with our final mid-month fundraising deadline of the election fast approaching, can you chip in to help us reach our goal and show big-money donors like Phil Knight the strength of grassroots donors?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Tina put it best when she said, “one billionaire, just one guy, has spent close to $7 million to buy the governor’s seat.” We can’t allow one person to buy the governor's seat for Tina’s Republican opponent Christine Drazan, who will take Oregon backward.

We need changes in the rules, and Tina is the only candidate ready to get big money out of politics and back into the hands of all Oregonians.

This campaign has a grassroots movement behind it full of everyday people contributing small-dollar donations to help elect Tina. With your help, we can reach our final mid-month fundraising goal and set us on track for a win in November.
