俄勒冈州道德委员会全票立案：波特兰地区州众议员被查未申报2.5万美元收入
俄勒冈州政府道德委员会上周五在闭门会议中以 8 比 0 全票表决，决定对州众议员拉马尔·怀斯（Lamar Wise）展开全面调查。怀斯是代表波特兰地区的民主党人，今年 8 月有人向委员会投诉，指他在 2026 年经济利益申报表中未申报从非盈利组织 Seeding Justice 获得的 2.5 万美元津贴。
委员会调查员丹尼尔·帕切科（Daniel Pacheco）表示，这笔款项的金额可能未达到“占家庭收入 10% 以上来源”的申报门槛，但怀斯似乎漏填了申报表的另一个部分——该部分要求公职人员列出来自“对其工作可能有立法或行政利益关系组织”的收入。怀斯原申报表列出的主要收入来源包括州县市雇员联合会俄勒冈分会和 Unite Oregon，并未列入 Seeding Justice。
怀斯表示，他已修改申报表，并正与道德委员会官员沟通处理此事，称这是“无心之失”，预计很快解决。他还说，调查员此前曾建议以一封教育函结案，他不认为自己会受到严厉处罚。
据报道，Seeding Justice 是一家总部位于波特兰的社会正义非盈利组织。2022 年美国最高法院推翻“罗诉韦德案”后，俄勒冈州议会选定该组织管理一只 1500 万美元的基金，用于支持堕胎服务可及性；2023 年，州环境官员也曾选定该组织分发数百万美元气候保护资金，该组织后来退出了那项工作。
怀斯于 2025 年 11 月由县委员任命进入州众议院，接替去年因癌症去世的众议员阮氏（Hòa Nguyễn），代表包括波特兰东南部、达马斯库斯和克拉克马斯县部分地区的第 48 选区。该席位下月将举行选举，怀斯的对手是共和党人、从事软件安全销售的安德鲁·莫里森（Andrew Morrison）。

Oregon Ethics Panel Votes 8-0 to Open Full Probe into Portland-Area Lawmaker's Undisclosed $25,000 Stipend
The Oregon Government Ethics Commission voted 8-0 in executive session last Friday to open a full investigation into state Rep. Lamar Wise, a Portland Democrat, over income he received from the nonprofit Seeding Justice but did not list on a disclosure form. The complaint, filed in August, alleges Wise failed to disclose a $25,000 stipend from Seeding Justice on his 2026 statement of economic interest.
Commission investigator Daniel Pacheco said the payment may not have been large enough to require listing as a source of more than 10% of Wise's household income, but that Wise appears to have omitted the nonprofit from a separate section of the form asking officials to identify income from organizations with a potential legislative or administrative interest in their work. Wise's original filing named the Oregon chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and Unite Oregon as major income sources, but not Seeding Justice.
Wise said he has amended his disclosure and is working with ethics officials to resolve what he called an honest mistake, and that he expects the matter to be resolved soon. He said the investigator had recommended closing the case with a letter of education, and that he did not expect a severe penalty.
Seeding Justice is a Portland-based social justice nonprofit. The Legislature selected it in 2022 to administer a $15 million fund created to support abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and state environmental officials selected it in 2023 to distribute millions of dollars for climate-protection work, an effort the group later withdrew from.
Wise was appointed to the House in November 2025 by county commissioners to represent District 48, which includes parts of Southeast Portland, Damascus and Clackamas County, replacing Rep. Hòa Nguyễn, who died last year after battling cancer. The seat is up for election next month; Wise faces Republican Andrew Morrison, a software-security salesperson.
