Next year’s census results will reshape Oregon’s political landscape. With your help we can make a significant difference in the political future of Oregon.

The process for drawing congressional and legislative district boundaries has, for too long, been controlled by politicians. Letting politicians manipulate voting maps is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Politicians in power shouldn’t be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves and their party. But that’s exactly how they do it now.

People Not Politicians is proposing a ballot measure to reform that process and create a fairer, more transparent system. At its simplest, this initiative would create an independent citizen redistricting commission comprised of Oregonians.

We believe Oregon voters should choose their politicians—politicians should not choose their voters.

Our diverse coalition has come together from all party affiliations, income levels, backgrounds, identities, and all corners of Oregon to rally for equal, fair and transparent representation at the state and congressional level. We represent hundreds of thousands of Oregonians who believe we deserve the best possible representative government produced through a fair, unbiased and transparent process—and we’re working hard to make that happen.

We hope you will join our efforts today to bring a more fair, transparent and non-partisan approach to Oregon’s redistricting system in November 2020.
