Family Forward Action

We are proud to be one of the 125+ organizations that endorse Measure 117! Measure 117 would enact ranked choice voting for statewide and federal races, which gives voters the option to rank candidates in order of preference: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. It's a simple improvement to our elections that gives you more choice and power on your ballot. Parents and caregivers want their voices to be heard, and ranked choice voting helps to make that happen. We urge Oregonians to vote YES on Measure 117 this election! #yeson117 #measure117 Learn more at yesonmeasure117.com.
