Vote By Mail
Democrat
Gov. Tina Kotek
Tina Kotek has repeatedly defended Oregon’s nearly thirty-year tradition of voting by mail, saying, “Oregon has a long history of conducting elections safely and securely in an election system that allows every voter in Oregon the right to a free, fair, and equal say in our democracy. We will continue to defend that right.”
Standing Up To Trump
Under Tina’s leadership, Oregon joined a lawsuit challenging Trump’s attempts to severely restrict vote-by-mail and undermine the state’s legal authority to conduct elections.
Republican
Sen. Christine Drazan
As a state legislator, Christine Drazan sponsored a bill that could end vote-by-mail in Oregon, making it more difficult for Oregonians to cast their ballots and make their voices heard.
Following The MAGA Agenda
Just like Trump, Drazan has worked to undermine the legitimacy of voting by mail, pushing to make it harder or outright ban it.
