Better Representation through Proper Compensation
As Oregonians we pride ourselves in the value of making democracy accessible. Being a responsive legislator requires full-time commitment, but today legislators are paid only $32,839 a year putting public service out of reach for many. Our government is better when it represents all Oregonians and doesn’t create barriers to service based on economic opportunity.
Democracy is stronger when our government represents the diverse communities it serves, from renters to fixed-income homeowners, from immigrant small business owners to working single parents juggling childcare responsibilities. Oregonians deserve to see legislators who understand their priorities because they live them every day and who will work hard to pass policies that improve their lives.
Our Coalition
Our grassroots coalition has come together to ensure that Oregonians from all walks of life can serve. We are brought together by a shared vision of an Oregon Legislature that represents the full diversity and lived experience of our state.
