Why we need to lobby

A landmark study of U.S. national policy debates found that, once the views of economic elites and organized interest groups are accounted for, average citizens’ preferences have “little or no independent influence” on whether a policy passes.Gilens & Page (2014).

In plain terms: when professional lobbyists and business groups are factored in, special interests tend to get what they want. So we—the cross-partisan majority—need our own lobby.

The finding

Elites & business groups show strong independent impact; average citizens show very little.

The problem

Special interests are organized and ever-present in the process.

Our solution

Organize real, nonpartisan majorities and lobby—professionally, transparently, and year-round.

Why It Matters

Most major Oregon policies — housing, healthcare, wildfire prevention — already have overwhelming public support across the political spectrum. But they stall in Salem. The Majority Lobby closes that gap so democracy works the way it should.

How It Works

1️⃣ We measure what Oregonians already agree on.

Independent polls and public records show overwhelming agreement — across party lines — on issues from housing to wildfire prevention. We publish it so everyone can see the majority.

2️⃣ Members vote on which ideas to push first.

Every member gets a ballot. We prioritize the ideas with the broadest, nonpartisan consensus so our focus always reflects Oregon’s majority will.

3️⃣ Together we lobby the Legislature — just people.

No corporate money, no gatekeepers. You finally have your own lobbyist fighting for transparent, nonpartisan, public-majority policy.

Lawmaker math is simple: organized people beat silent majorities. If we don’t have thousands of verified Oregonians — spread across districts — this project fails.

This is a headcount that turns broad support into real leverage at the Capitol.
