The filing deadline in Oregon for a campaign transaction is typically no later than 30 calendar days. However, beginning on the 42nd day before an election day and through the date of the election, a transaction is due no later than seven calendar days after the date it occurred. The dates for the beginning and ending of the seven-day reporting period for the 2017 Oregon school board elections were:[4]
- April 4, 2017 (Seven day campaign finance reporting begins)
- May 16, 2017 (Seven day campaign finance reporting ends)
A school board candidate in Oregon must form a candidate committee unless he or she meets all of the following conditions:[5][6]
- The candidate elects to serve as his or her own treasurer.
- The candidate does not have an existing candidate committee.
- The candidate does not expect to receive or spend more than $750 during a calendar year (including personal funds).
A candidate committee must file a Statement of Organization with the Elections Division of the Oregon Secretary of State within three business days of first receiving or spending money. A form including campaign account information must accompany the Statement of Organization.[5][7]
Candidate committees that expect to receive or spend $3,500 or more in a calendar year are required to report all transactions. A committee that does not expect to receive or spend this much is still required to file a Statement of Organization and designate a campaign bank account, but does not have to file transactions. Instead, they must file a Certificate of Limited Contributions and Expenditures.[5][8]

Campaign themes
2015
Young provided the following statement for the Deschutes County voter's pamphlet:
| “ | Having attended 10 public input sessions relevant to boundary and superintendent search issues, spoken in an AVID class at La Pine Middle School, and had opportunities to dialogue with multiple dimensions of employees, students and members of the greater Bend-La Pine school community, I have learned a great deal.
The above, combined with my years as a teacher, administrator, superintendent/director and consultant in Oregon and international schools, have developed my firm belief that every child may not choose to attend college or university, but every child has the right to a quality education that will prepare them for the world they will enter beyond their K-12 school years. I will help Bend-La Pine Schools strive to find a learning plan and path for every student. I previously volunteered directing local Red Cross disaster shelters and currently chair the tri-county CASA Board. These have helped me understand the vast range of needs throughout Deschutes County. I am proud of my years in education and have worked to do what is best for children. I simply love what learning is about. Bend-La Pine schools are good and are intent on becoming better. If elected, I will work to help this happen. Partnering in this journey is an exciting opportunity.[11] |
