@tedwheeler began his campaign today by soliciting illegal donations. In 2018 measure 26-200 was passed by Portland voters with 88% of the vote and limits contributions to $500 dollars. His website is soliciting illegal donations as I type this. portlandoregon.gov/auditor/articl…
So there are a couple options here:
1. Wheeler is unaware of the law (incompetent).
2. Wheeler is assuming everyone is unaware of the law (arrogant).
3. Wheeler does not care what his voters want and is hoping the supreme court overturns the measure (undeserving of your vote).
This comes from a mayor who has been funded by Pepsi, Nike, McDonald's, and Gordon frickin' Sondland. We have just begun the scandal over Sondland's massive (now illegal) donations to Wheeler and he begins his campaign with this?
And to top it all off in his pitch for your vote he states, "We’re strongest when we work together as one vibrant, powerful, engaged community." Really? Your community voted with 88% of the vote for you to stop with the big money in politics, yet here we are.
If you want a mayor that isn't taking donations over $250, is only taking donations from individuals, is actually a climate champion, and shows up rather than write letters and steal people's credit (and tweets), then support @sarah2020
