Democratic Oregon House candidate is big Republican donor
BY: JULIA SHUMWAY - APRIL 4, 2024
The Democratic candidate running against incumbent Democratic Rep. Jules Walters in a Clackamas County House district has given nearly $400,000 to state and federal Republican candidates and causes over the past 20 years, campaign finance records show.
Brian Maguire, the CEO of a data storage company, filed fewer than two hours before the March 12 filing deadline to challenge Walters, a first-term representative and the former mayor of West Linn. The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican Ben Edtl in November, and Democrats hold an edge in the district.
Maguire’s history of political contributions, though, belie his decision to run as a Democrat. He contributed more than $284,000 to state and local candidates and organizations since 2008 and more than $110,000 to federal candidates since 2003, state and federal campaign finance databases show, and nearly all of that money went to Republican candidates or conservative causes.

Jules Walters
As your State Representative, she’s built partnerships with Senators and Representatives in Salem, local and regional government leaders, and stakeholders in our community to stop tolling in Clackamas County, provide funding for housing and infrastructure projects, and support Oregonians in recovery.
As a mother of four, she understands that skyrocketing prices are not sustainable. In her first term, she worked to lower the cost of groceries, housing, health care and child care to help families make ends meet.
