The following are our ratings and recommendations for the May 19, 2020 primary races for Oregon seats other than:
This list currently only includes county commission races but we would love to add city council and other important elections.
We recognize there are MANY races all around the state so every race may not be represented.
We listed races where there is at least one candidate in the race we are aware of where one candidate deserved at least four stars or if a candidate's priorities are so off that they deserve zero stars.
If there a race we don't have that you want included?
Candidates are scored on a zero - five star scale (zero stars = wrong priorities/not supported and five stars = right priorities, will support issues important to us).

This is a living, updateable document. If you have information about a candidate listed as unknown, please reach out to us at
