Our Accomplishments
Early Release of Felons
The massive early release of 1,142 convicted felons is a serious assault on the integrity of Oregon’s criminal justice system.
Redistricting
Based on the recent census, we are tracking Oregon’s redistricting process and working to ensure that the revised districts are fair, free, and equal.
Measure 11
Common Sense for Oregon is working hard to ensure that victims of Oregon’s most violent and sexual crimes continue to receive justice.
Serving Oregonians
Common Sense for Oregon’s goal is to serve the people of Oregon by making it a better place to live and raise a family. We advocate for a transparent government and also fight wasteful government spending. We work for simple and clear government regulation but only where it is needed. We press for a straightforward, clear, and balanced tax system, which is fair to all. By protecting Oregon’s 100-year-old initiative system and referendum process, Common Sense for Oregon is an advocate for the voice of the people. Writing and supporting ballot measures allows Common Sense to be on the front lines of the battle for Oregon’s future.
