Humane Voters Oregon has released its 2023 legislative voting record. Our voting record shows how Oregon legislators voted on animal related issues in the 2023 legislative session. We also scored legislators on bills they sponsored, and on whether they took any special actions that either helped or harmed animal interests in legislative committees or behind the scenes.
