I don't know much about Oregon politics, but I think you're focusing too much on individual donors and individual election winners. The point is that whoever wins is beholden to their big campaign donors. Some faction of the upper class is always in control of policy, and the vast majority of voters are just there to decide the competition between those upper class factions. The non-wealthy almost never win, in terms of getting policy that's beneficial to them.
