Disclosure ledger

latest filed transactions · as-filed names · every row links to ORESTAR

No public transactions synced yet. The ledger fills as ORESTAR filings are ingested and reviewed.

Context: Oregon has no campaign contribution limits for the 2026 cycle. HB 4024 limits (individuals $3,300 per election) become operative January 1, 2027 — this is the last unlimited-contribution city election.

Polls & signals

Tier 1 · Scientific polls

No scientific polling is known for these races. Small-city races are rarely polled. If a poll is published, it appears here only with full methodology: sponsor, pollster, field dates, population, sample size, margin of error, mode, and question wording. Missing any field → not published.

Tier 2 · Signals, not polls

Measurable public facts: fundraising velocity and donor counts (ORESTAR), voters’ pamphlet participation, documented endorsements, and county ballot-return statistics during voting. Finance signals appear as filings sync. Signals describe activity — they do not predict outcomes.

Tier 3 · Excluded

Social-media straw polls, news-site widgets, internal campaign polls without released methodology, and betting markets are never displayed — even with a label. This tracker computes no win probabilities.
