Update on Oregon Governor Race Engulfed in Record-Breaking Tidal Wave of Money

Brown and Buehler Spending Now Over $30 Million Total, Smashing Previous Record of $20 million

Oregon is one of only 5 states with no limits on political campaign contributions; the others are Alabama, Nebraska, Utah, and Virginia.  One result is this year's record-breaking spending by candidates for Governor of Oregon.  Both candidates are relying upon huge contributions that would be illegal in 40 other states.

As of 7 days ago, the Kate Brown campaign has reported raising $13.9 million, while the Knute Buehler campaign has raised $16.5 million.  Both campaigns have raised only 10% of its funds from contributions of under $200.
