Oregon ballots began arriving in mailboxes Wednesday, packed with bold tax proposals, big decisions, and a resolution to one of the most rancorous presidential races in American history.

It's a dizzying list—especially the ballot measures. Portland voters will need to decide on 15 measures, including Oregon's largest-ever tax increase.

It's a lot to decide. Which is why we spent more than a month weighing the issues for our endorsements. We hope the following links will explain our thinking—and help guide yours.
