The Oregon Progressive Party (OPP) is a political party in the U.S. state of Oregon. Originally called the Oregon Peace Party, it was accepted as the sixth minor statewide political party in Oregon on August 22, 2008.[1] This allowed the party to nominate Ralph Nader as its candidate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.[2][3] In September 2009, the party changed its name to the Oregon Progressive Party, to "more accurately reflects the party's positions" on issues besides peace, including "social justice, consumer advocacy, environmental protection, and worker's rights."[4]
