Small Donor Elections Campaigns in the 2026 Election Cycle
(Updated July 2, 2025)
This page is where the program lists candidates who have filed to participate in the Small Donor Elections program, certification status, and how much they have been approved for in matching funds. For a period of time, this page will also contain archived information about the 2024 election.
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.

2024 Election Archived Information
*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.
