Measure 120
Argument in Opposition
COPS PAC says: Vote No on Measure 120
The Community Oriented Public Servants (COPS) PAC represents community leaders, public safety professionals, and citizens who believe government should protect public safety while respecting the economic realities facing Oregon families.
Many of our members work in or alongside law enforcement, fire service, and emergency response, where we see firsthand the challenges our communities face every day. Our mission is simple: support policies and leaders who strengthen communities, protect families, and preserve common-sense local governance.
Our PAC Director, Brian Wheatley, has served as a reserve police officer since 2008 and has long been committed to community service and public safety. Like many of our members, he believes public policy must reflect the real-world pressures families and small businesses are experiencing.
Measure 120 moves Oregon in the wrong direction.
Across our state, families are already dealing with rising costs for housing, groceries, fuel, and basic necessities. Small businesses are struggling with higher operating costs and economic uncertainty.
Now the government is asking working families to pay even more.
Policies that significantly increase the cost of living ripple through the entire community. When transportation costs rise, the effects are felt everywhere — by commuters, small business owners, farmers, tradespeople, and working families trying to stretch their budgets.
Public servants should always be mindful of how government decisions affect the people they serve.
At COPS PAC, we believe Oregon families deserve responsible leadership that protects both public safety and economic stability.
Measure 120 fails that test.
For the sake of Oregon families, small businesses, and communities already under economic pressure:
VOTE NO ON MEASURE 120.
