City won’t match contributions between Portland City Council candidates for now

www.oregonlive.com City won’t match contributions between Portland City Council candidates for now

An email thread obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows that at least 13 candidates explicitly agreed to trade contributions to reach the donor threshold to qualify for public funds.

The City of Portland’s Small Donor Elections program has placed a temporary hold on matching contributions from candidates or family members of candidates made after Aug. 7 after learning that many candidates appeared to agree to quid-pro-quo donations to each other.
