OEA puts $4 million into ballot measure fight
If you think you’ve seen a lot of campaign ads so far, get ready for a lot more. The Oregon Education Association has donated another $2.1 million to the coalition opposing most of the ballot measures on the Nov. 4 statewide ballot.
That means the state’s largest teachers union has contributed a total of $4.1 million to the coalition this year, far outstripping all other donors for and against this year’s measure campaigns. That also means a ton of money for campaign ads, particularly on television.
