Business owners that have contacted me have been upset because they believed that the calls, ads, etc. are coming from Oregon Main Street and by extension from our local programs. Oregon Main Street is part of a state agency and can’t and doesn’t engage in political activities.

The National Main Street Center checked with their attorney. The National Main Street Center brand only relates to the use of “main street” as it applies to downtown revitalization and not to political advocacy.
