Ballot measure activity
Mannix authored or supported a number of ballot measures and legislative referrals in Oregon. The following is a partial list:[5]
- Oregon Ballot Measure 10 (1994), which provided that prison sentences set by a vote of the people cannot be reduced by the legislature except with a two-thirds vote of the House and the Senate. Measure 10 was approved.
- Oregon Ballot Measure 11 (1994), which established mandatory minimum prison sentences for violent criminals. Measure 11 was approved.
- Oregon Ballot Measure 17 (1994), which required that all state prisoners be engaged in useful full-time work with clear allowances for education and training programs. Measure 17 was approved.
- Oregon Ballot Measure 40 (1996), which added crime victims’ rights to the state constitution and expanded evidence admissible in criminal trials. Measure 40 was approved by voters, but was later overturned by the Oregon Supreme Court in Armatta v. Kitzhaber on the grounds that it contained more than one constitutional amendment.
- Oregon Ballot Measure 61 (2008), which sought to enact a law to create mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain theft, identity theft, forgery, drug, and burglary crimes. Measure 61 was defeated.
2016 Republican National Convention
- See also: Republican National Convention, 2016
Mannix was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Oregon. Mannix was one of five delegates from Oregon bound by state party rules to support John Kasich at the convention.[6]
Delegate rules
Delegates from Oregon to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected at a state convention in June 2016. Oregon delegate candidates were required to indicate which presidential candidate they favor, and if selected to participate in the national convention, sign a pledge to support him or her. All delegates from Oregon were bound on the first ballot unless released by their candidate. On the second ballot, a delegate was to remain bound if the candidate received at least 35 percent of the convention vote on the previous ballot. All Oregon delegates were to be unbound on the third and subsequent ballots.

Delegate allocation
Oregon had 28 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 15 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's five congressional districts). Oregon's district delegates were allocated on a proportional basis in accordance with the statewide primary vote.[7][8]
Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. Oregon's at-large delegates were allocated proportionally in accordance with the statewide primary vote. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[7][8]
Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
