You Should Know What Republican Megadonor Phil Knight Is Up To...

 

Did you see this recent article in the Oregonian BELOW? Republican megadonor Phil Knight just gave $10,000 to our opponent’s campaign. Mr. Knight has previously given hundreds of thousands of dollars to bolster right-wing political agendas in Oregon. Knight is making it very clear that the ultrawealthy are depending on our opponent to undo the criminal justice reform work that DA Mike Schmidt has enacted and take us back to the same old criminal justice policies that have been failing Multnomah County for decades.

Our opponent may have some deep pocketed friends, but I know we can win this race because Mike Schmidt shares Oregonian values. We certainly do have our work cut out for us though. Can you pitch in to help us build $10,000 of people power to counteract this $10,000 from a conservative billionaire? You can give at any level that you are able here: You can also help us by spreading the word about what's happening in this election. Share this article with your networks and tell them what you think about this latest move by Phil Knight. Thank you and onward! -Team Schmidt

Paid for by Mike Schmidt for Multnomah DA (PAC ID: 20018), PO Box 6536, Portland, Oregon 97228
