You shouldn't have to be wealthy to run for office. That's why we passed limits on political spending. "Big money...is really shaping the direction of who gets to run, who can afford to run, who thinks they can run.” -Executive Director @KateTitus4CC klcc.org/politics-gover…
"It sounds like Oregon's Paid Leave program has too much leeway to avoid being fully transparent with the public. The public has a right and legitimate need to see how our state agencies are operating." -Executive Director @KateTitus4CC oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…
Congrats to @CommonCauseOR for working to reinstate Oregon’s limits on campaign contributions for the first time in decades! This new law will help make campaign spending more transparent. commoncause.org/oregon/press-r…
2024 was a historic year for Oregon's legislature. Once again, we joined forces in common cause to watchdog the process and advocate for our democracy. ⚖️ ICYMI, here's everything you need to know about the status of this year's priority bills: commoncause.org/oregon/democra…
For the first time in its history, the Oregon Legislature has passed legislation to limit the influence of money in our state's politics. “Our work is not over – but Oregon is making a giant leap forward," said CCOR Executive Director, Kate Titus. READ: oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…
In 2023, we: 🏛️Won a major victory for checks and balances at the Supreme Court 🍊Held Donald Trump accountable 🗳️Protected the freedom to vote from Pennsylvania to Ohio The first evert Common Cause Wrapped is here: commoncause.org/democracy-wire…
“Good people across the country will not stand for domestic terrorism," said CCOR Executive Director Kate Titus. "In 2024, we will make sure every voter can cast a ballot safely and our election workers can do their jobs without interference.” commoncause.org/press-release/…

A union in Oregon wants to exempt itself from campaign finance reform. @CommonCauseOR's Kate Titus reminds us “A loophole for one is a loophole for all. Letting money rule the day is never going to get us to the type of governing we need.” oregonlive.com/politics/2023/…
We can’t let our democracy be sold to the highest bidder. “Letting money rule the day is never going to get us to the type of governing we need, and we should all have a stake in that,” said Kate Titus of @CommonCauseOR. oregonlive.com/politics/2023/…
As extremists across the nation are gaining traction in their pursuit to roll back many of our civil liberties, Oregon is paving a different path. Read about how Oregon is protecting our democracy by rejecting efforts to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. ⬇️ commoncause.org/oregon/democra…
Donald Trump is not above the law.
Breaking: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in our #MooreVHarper case, protecting state courts’ power to hold lawmakers accountable to state laws when it comes to our elections. This ruling is a very big deal for the survival of our democracy.
NEWS: This weekend, Oregon's legislature rejected national, partisan efforts to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. “Republicans and Democrats came together to reject the idea that our freedoms are up for grabs," said our executive director, Kate Titus. commoncause.org/oregon/press-r…
A new bill would add the Oregon Health Authority to Oregon’s automatic voter registration program. This will help “close that gap of people who are not registered and don’t have the option, then, to vote,” said Kate Titus of @CommonCauseOR. publicnewsservice.org/2023-06-22/civ…
Beyond corruption itself, the appearance of corruption erodes the public's trust in our leaders and our government. “It’s not even a matter of what’s allowable,” said our Executive Director Kate Titus. “It’s how the public would perceive that." oregonlive.com/news/2023/06/s…
If you're an Oregon voter, you know how easy it is to cast your ballot – but there is still work to be done. Our Executive Director, Kate Titus, argues in support of increasing automatic voter registration to ensure easy access to our democracy for all. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/06/07/ore…
Oregon is one of a handful of states that allows donors to give unlimited sums of money to political campaigns. That could soon change — current proposals moving through the legislature would help set strict limits to get big money out of our elections. oregonlive.com/politics/2023/…
