Oregon Democrats cry foul on Republican ad that listed candidate’s home number

Oregon House Democrats are taking Republicans to task over an ad in a contentious Hillsboro race that asked voters to call the Democratic candidate on her home phone and share their thoughts about a $3 billion corporate tax measure. An ad posted on Facebook by the campaign for Republican Dan Mason says Washington County has been hurt by "Salem's failed economic policies" and implies that Democrat Janeen Sollman supports Measure 97. The measure, which will be on the ballot in November, would charge certain C corporations a 2.5 percent tax on their gross annual sales in Oregon above $25 million.
