Representative Dan Rayfield of District 16, Corvallis, Oregon, is organizing a number of forums addressing CFR, Campaign Finance Reform.

In the 2019 Legislative Session, the legislature made gains regarding campaign finance reform by increasing transparency and increasing access for voters. Oregon still remains one of five states without campaign contribution limits. More can be done.

A CFR forum by Rep. Dan Rayfield will be held in Eugene on Sep. 5.

7:00 – 8:30pm at the University of Oregon, Global Scholars Hall Room 123 –
