Working Families Party of Oregon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Working Families Party of Oregon (WFPO) is a minor political party modeled after the national Working Families Party, but is organized locally and is autonomous. It is recognized by the Oregon State Elections Division as a statewide nominating party. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, WFPO is headed by Oregon AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain and Oregon vineyard operator Barbara Dudley as co-chairs. As of December, 2007, the party has yet to hold its first nominating convention, but has announced plans to sponsor a ballot initiative to institute an electoral fusion system in the state.
