And that means real consequences when they don’t show up to do the job we elected them to do.
When politicians are elected, they take an oath of office, promising to follow the constitution, do their job, and serve Oregonians. But for the past several years, certain politicians in Salem have repeatedly walked off the job, refused to show up to work and shut down the legislature, stopping laws to fund our schools, provide wildfire relief, address climate change, prevent gun violence, and more.
Oregonians have had enough! It’s time to hold no-show politicians accountable. The Hold Politicians Accountable campaign will ensure that any politician who has ten unexcused absences from the job they were elected to do won’t be able to run for re-election. Ten strikes, and you’re out!
