Send a Message Through the Online Form
The “Share Your Opinion” form is the fastest way in. It asks for your name, mailing address, city, state, zip code, email, phone number, and your message in a single open text field.1State of Oregon. Office of Oregon Governor – Share Your Opinion There’s no subject dropdown, so state your topic in the first sentence. If your message concerns a specific bill or a specific state agency, name the bill number or the agency up front so staff can route it to the right policy advisor.

Requesting a Meeting
Meeting requests use a dedicated form, not the general contact form. It asks for the meeting date, your organization or sponsor name, an agenda, estimated attendance, and the names of everyone who would attend.4State of Oregon. Request a Meeting With the Governor The office cannot commit to the Governor’s schedule more than six weeks out, and short-notice changes happen when state responsibilities require it.
The meeting form is built for groups, organizations, and individuals bringing a specific policy proposal or hosting an organized event or lobby day. If you want help with a personal matter involving a state agency, or you just want to share an opinion, the office directs you back to the general contact form or the phone line at 503-378-4582.4State of Oregon. Request a Meeting With the Governor A clear, concise agenda explaining why the meeting matters improves your odds.
Requesting a Proclamation
Proclamation requests have the strictest timing rule in the office’s intake process: they must be submitted at least 45 days before the date you need the proclamation, and late requests will not be granted.5State of Oregon. Proclamation Request Guidelines The window covers approval, production, and mailing time if you need a hard copy.
Several content rules limit what the office will approve:
- The subject must have statewide significance to Oregon and Oregonians, not just one community.
- Proclamations honoring a specific person, business, or organization are not accepted.
- The proclamation cannot be used in advertising or promotion.
- The text must be inclusive in tone and must not take sides on political, ideological, or religious controversies.
- The request must come from an Oregon resident, even if the cause is national or international.
Proclamations are not renewed automatically; you need to submit a fresh request every year. The document follows a specific template with “WHEREAS” clauses (typically four to six) and must fit on a single page in 12-point font, with space for the signatures of the Governor and the Secretary of State and the State Seal of Oregon. The Governor’s office reserves the right to edit the wording before issuing it.5State of Oregon. Proclamation Request Guidelines

In practice, your name, address, and the content of your message could be released to journalists, researchers, or anyone else who requests executive office correspondence. Not every piece of correspondence gets requested, but write with the understanding that it isn’t private. If you have sensitive personal details to raise, consider leaving them out of the written submission and calling instead, where the substance is summarized in staff notes rather than preserved verbatim.
