Ballot Measures

Throughout the state, Oregonians treasure their unique quality of life. Business owners, educators and workers from all walks of life are invested in the way city, county and state governments work together — or don’t. When your objectives include passing or defeating an initiative, referendum or local measure, you’ll want to draw on CFM’s counsel. Conkling Fiskum & McCormick has a proven track record in campaign communications for ballot and bond measures.

We can help you assess the political viability of issues, craft appealing ballot titles and communicate with the people you need to reach. You’ll want a communications plan based on research — not guesswork — to ensure success. You’ll want to develop memorable key messages that pinpoint the benefits of your proposal.

CFM’s relationships with the media, editorial writers and grassroots organizations will help you spread the word. CFM will allow your issue specialists to focus their efforts in areas where their expertise will matter most; we’ll shape it into a form that will get results.
