History
In 2007, OPP was created as the Oregon Peace Party.
On August 22, 2008, OPP was accepted as the sixth minor statewide political party in Oregon. OPP described its goals as "economic justice, human rights, environmental protection, and grassroots democracy".
In September 2009, OPP 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."
In 2019, the OPP was part of a statewide coalition that sought to "create a nonpartisan citizens panel to handle redistricting for congressional and legislative seats in Oregon following the 2020 census."
Election results
OPP has fielded electoral candidates for state and federal offices. OPP candidates usually run on a OPP ballot line, sometimes with cross-endorsement from the Pacific Green Party (PGP) or Independent Party of Oregon (IPO).
No OPP candidate has yet won an election.
