Last weekend, I had the opportunity to circulate petitions for my candidate at petition parties.
To be in a Primary, candidates for both major party's file a Declaration of Candidacy with the State and then pay the Filing Fee.
Filing fees are so low in Oregon that it costs more to have petitions printed! ($150 for US Senator, $30 for Portland Mayor, Circuit Court Judge, $50)
Yes, it's different from state to state. Oregon has a better elections system end-to-end than any other state.
Now I see how your nomination and organization process differs from those in New York and Florida.
...and it was different when I lived in New Hampshire, Virginia, Maryland and Iowa. It's all per each state.
Thanks for organizing. I signed last wknd in Bucks County.
THANK YOU FOR SIGNING! And THANK YOU for being a voter! It matters SO MUCH!!!
