This is interesting. Wonder why his campaign folks missed the opportunity to submit voter's pamphlet statement?
Looking for Trump in Oregon’s Voters’ Pamphlet? You won’t find him.Updated: Sep. 04, 2024, 10:15 a.m.|Published: Sep. 03, 2024, 3:38 p.m.
Former President Donald Trump has once again missed a chance to submit a statement for Oregon’s widely-distributed Voters’ Pamphlet, which was released Tuesday. He will still appear on the ballot.
Oregon sends nearly 2 million Voters’ Pamphlets to all households ahead of elections. Candidates don’t have to appear in the pamphlet, but for a fee of $3,500 for presidential candidates, it’s a cheap and easy way for candidates to get their face and a 325-word statement in front of the state’s 3 million voters. (Local candidates pay less; the fee is only $600 for a city or county candidate).
Trump’s campaign also declined to appear in Oregon’s Voters’ Pamphlet ahead of the May primary earlier this year. Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about why it declined to submit a statement for the pamphlet. Laura Kerns, communications director for the Oregon Secretary of State, said that the state repeatedly reached out to the Trump campaign and to the Oregon GOP to make sure it was aware of the Aug. 27 deadline to submit a statement, but received not response.
