Governor Tina Kotek hosted a signing ceremony for House Bill 4024, which legislators passed and the Governor signed this year to establish campaign contribution limits.
Kotek said, “Often, the word ‘historic’ can feel overused. But I know for a fact that there were many people – including myself at times – who thought getting campaign contribution limits through the legislature would never happen,” Governor Kotek said. “But, we are here today to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts that have led to House Bill 4024 in this year’s legislative session, bringing Oregon into the company of 45 other states that have campaign contribution limits.”
The new law provides a varying level of campaign limits for individuals, corporations, and membership groups.
