The Constitution Party of Oregon is a political party organized as a Minor Party pursuant to state election law[1], and recognized by the State of Oregon as a state-wide nominating party[2].
Originally organized in the year 2000 as an affiliate of the national Constitution Party, on May 20, 2006, the Chair of the Steering Committee was convened by its Chair to consider his proposal "...until the national Constitution Party resumes a principled, pro-life position – we, in Oregon, should separate ourselves and proceed as an independent state party."[3]
The party has yet to elect a candidate to statewide office in Oregon, nor to either the state Senate or House of Representatives. In 2004 and 2006 it did field candidates in each statewide race, and for Congress in several districts.
