Money OUT of Politics
The Oregon Area Progressives are concerned about the powerful impact of big money in politics, which damages democracy and silences everyday voices. Wealthy donors and groups such as Elon Musk, the American Legislative Exchange Council, and Americans for Prosperity use their contributions to influence politicians and promote their own agendas, disregarding the public's needs. This leads to a scenario where the money of a few carries more weight than the votes of many.
