We appreciate all your support in 2025! You helped us back animal-friendly candidates for public office and advocate for animal welfare across various areas once again.
Support our efforts in 2026 by making a year-end donation. Your contribution will aid us in advocating for animals at state and local governments and backing candidates who have demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing animal welfare.
Your contribution to Humane Voters Oregon PAC is eligible for Oregon's political contribution tax credit, allowing you to receive a full refund on your state taxes up to $50 for an individual return and $100 for a joint return.*
With your support in 2025, we:
Advocated for animals in the Oregon Legislature. Our work included supporting bills to limit hunting and trapping of beavers, to prohibit betting on dog race, and to make it easier for wildlife to cross highways. We opposed bills to resume cougar hunting with dogs and to raise money for killing wildlife deemed a threat to agricultural property. For more information on our work during the 2025 legislative session, including which bills passed and which didn't, go here.
Published our 2025 legislative scorecard to show which Oregon legislators were the best (and worst) for animals in 2025, along with cumulative ratings of legislators who also served in prior sessions. See all our legislative scorecards here.
Continued our work with the Oregon Wildlife Coalition to advocate for humane, science-based wildlife policies. For more on the Oregon Wildlife Coalition, go here.
Please help us rebuild our funds for 2026. In addition to our usual work, 2026 will be an election year. Your contributions to Humane Voters Oregon PAC will help us support candidates in the name of animal welfare, which will help make animals more important when proposed new laws are discussed in state and local government.
About Humane Voters Oregon
Humane Voters Oregon advocates for animals in Oregon's political process and elections. You can support us with donations to one or both of our two funds. Donations to our political action committee, Humane Voters Oregon PAC, help us support animal-friendly political candidates by contributing to their campaigns. You can also donate to our general account, Humane Voters Oregon, to support our general operations and advocacy.
Contributions to Humane Voters Oregon PAC qualify for Oregon's political contribution tax credit. You can give up to $50 this year ($100 for a couple filing jointly) and get the full amount deducted from your state taxes when you complete your tax return next year. It won't cost you anything and it will help make animal welfare a more important issue in Oregon's political process and elections.*
*Note: Oregon's political contribution tax credit is not available to people with an adjusted gross income of more than $75,000 ($150,000 for couples filing jointly).
