A Second Nomination

It's been coming for a while, but this week it's official: the Independent Party of Oregon has given us its nomination. This is the first time anyone's had both a major party nomination and the Independent nomination for Jackson County Commissioner. Oh, there's this small detail: carrying multiple nominations has only been possible in Oregon for the last couple of years, since "fusion" nominations have been authorized by Oregon law.

We're proud of this. The people who created this party are laser-focused on reducing special-interest ownership of our politics, and are working against steep odds to make that happen. I thank them for their bold work, and for this nomination.

    Great action. We need to get the next step in fusion voting to let each party that endorses have a seperate line on the voting ballot. That way we can see how many voters line up with the agenda of each independent party.
