Participation in Small Donor Elections
(Updated September 30th, 2024)
Below are lists of candidates' certification status, as well as how much they have been approved for in matching funds, with notes on candidates filed to participate but did not get certified. This information is as of the date this page was last updated.
A list of candidates who have filed to run for City office can be found here.
Since voters approved Charter reforms in 2022, Portland's Independent Districting Council finalized district boundaries for the four City Council districts. You can see those districts by clicking here.
*Due to program underfunding, match caps had to be lowered from $750,000 for Mayor to $100,000, from $100,000 for Auditor to $40,000, and from a $100,000/$200,000/$300,000 tiered system for Council to $40,000/$80,000/$120,000, at least temporarily. It will be increased if Council appropriates more funding or if the final count of participating candidates after the filing deadline is lower than anticipated. Matching Funds Received amounts with an asterisk indicate that the candidate earned more in matching funds but received the asterisked amount due to caps.
