Progressive candidates don't shill that hard for the CRC.

Ted Wheeler has longed for an opportunity to have a contested run for the mayors office. This is good for Portland's most vulnerable and fragile individuals. Anything worth while must be fought for and earned and Wheeler gets that - he's a fighter and a competitor. Let the SHOWDOWN begin I say...

Really? Like Bailey didn't already rake in cash via his PAC? $500 from Natural Gas Political Action Committee in July 2015. $1000 from the Oregon Soft Drink PAC, who opposed the Mutlnomah County bid to get the word out about the high levels of sugar in soft drinks. Plus another $1000 from Coca-Cola.

The $250 donation limit also works to get donor secret, because at the level you don't have to record who gave you the money.
