FUNDRAISING

In 2024, Solomon raised a six-figure amount for the Trump 47 Committee.

He has consistently helped the ORP raise money for state, local and national races. As testified to by recently retired NCW Chris Barreto, this number is now in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The money went into the bank accounts of the ORP or various county parties where those chairs and their ECs made the decisions on where those funds should be appropriately spent.

Next, a penny saved is a penny earned. Solomon has donated over $250,000 in travel expenses to attend not only RNC's regular meetings, but senior-level committee meetings held in between those meetings in locations like Washington D.C. Historically, most of Oregon's RNC contingent has been reimbursed out of ORP's donor funds for this travel.

Solomon has attended numerous meetings with the State Chair, Executive Director, and National Committeewoman with RNC-complementary PACs and organizations to help secure pass-through funding earmarked for congressional or gubernatorial races.

ORP and county parties rely often on fundraising events to fill their coffers. Solomon secured nationally known speakers to help the party raise money, which supports Oregon races. Solomon also secured other speakers who were not involved in fundraising. They included Dennis Kwok and Alvin Yeung, pro-democracy Hong Kong lawmakers who were organizing two-million-man march there. Nearly all of these speakers waived their usual speaking fees due to their relationship with Solomon, saving tens of thousands of dollars over the years. (Candace Owens was the only paid speaker.)
