Social justice advocates in Multnomah County sought to establish Universal Preschool in Multnomah County by initiative. Counsel assisted in writing the initiative. After it was filed, business groups filed two lawsuits, one raising constitutional concerns, and the other challenging the ballot title. Advocates joined with Multnomah County Counsel to defeat those claims. The court certified the ballot title and petitioners were able to gather sufficient signatures to place the matter on the ballot.
