(Inspired by this.)

Given that domain names with a "us" at the end must -- by federal law -- have a valid visible address I can think of such domain name registration as a cost saving substitute for the 50 dollar repeating fee for maintaining an assumed name with the state.

For example: PDXAuditor.us. (or SunRiseParty.us.)

How about a charter amendment, or ordinance, that reserves the mayor position to Sam Adams? Anyone that wants to run can simply change their name to Sam Adams.

We can also have a Sam Adams Party that can either support or oppose Sam Adams as a candidate for the non-partisan mayor position. A petition for formal recognition only takes signatures from one and one half percent of the electors in the last governor election, within an electoral district, to form a minor party. ORS 248.008. (The city can even seemingly waive this signature requirement just as they did for the official taxpayer-funded campaigns party and when they delegated exclusive dual-nomination-and-veto-power for auditor-candidates to a foreign corporation.)

Naw . . . just meet Sam Adams (the beer company) Half-Way and delegate to them exclusive dual-nomination-and-veto-power over the mayor position if they also cover the cost of publicly funded campaigns, in the spirit of public-private partnership.
