You can run as a candidate of the Oregon Progressive Party (OPP) if you:
• Are progressive
• Have thought of running for any partisan office:
In partisan races, you would be able to skip campaigning during the primary election but yet appear on the General Election ballot in November, cutting both the time and expense of being in two elections.
In non-partisan races, you could seek endorsement for office and be able to state that you have the Oregon Progressive Party endorsement in your campaign literature and/or your voter pamphlet statement. To be endorsed or become the nominee of the OPP, please complete the appropriate candidate questionnaire (federal, state or local) and return it to the OPP at info@progparty.org. Questionnaires are available under the Candidate Questionnaires tab at the top of this page. And then schedule a talk with the OPP State Council at one of our monthly meetings at 6 pm on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Contact info at info@progparty.org to schedule.
The OPP offers candidates many of the same services that are offered by the major political parties, including:
• Are progressive
