Our Issues
Learn more about the most pressing issues Common Sense for Oregon is responding to on behalf of Oregonians. We are tackling these issues on all fronts from research and education of stakeholders, to the courts, the Legislature, and the Executive Branch.
Constitutional Amendment Addressing Governor's Use of Emergency Powers
We are leading an effort to develop an amendment to the Oregon Constitution which will more clearly define the powers of the Governor, the Legislature, and County Commissioners in addressing emergencies.
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.
Early Release of Convicted Felons
The massive early release of 1,142 convicted felons is a serious assault on the integrity of Oregon’s criminal justice system.
Estate Tax Reform
Only 11 states, including Oregon, continue to have a death tax, and Oregon imposes one of the most arduous taxes on small to mid-size estates.

Common Sense for Oregon is working hard to ensure that victims of Oregon’s most violent and sexual crimes continue to receive justice.
