Multnomah Democrats Endorsement Task Force Report and Recommendations

Multnomah Democrats Endorsement Committee recommendation:

Ruth Adkins’ work running the Oregon Rapid Response Network shows a commitment to grassroots activism and holding the media accountable to a high standard of journalistic integrity. This commitment to grassroots activism is particularly important in working with the School Board, where one of the chief complaints of the community has been a lack of public influence on the decisions made by the school board. We are curious to know from other school activists in SW Portland about their experiences working with Ruth in schools-related advocacy. We recommend that the MCDP endorse Ruth Adkins for Portland School District Director, Zone 1.

 

Multnomah Democrats will vote on this endorsement recommendation at their March 15 meeting. Come and support Ruth and the Democratic Party!

Stand for Children endorses Portland school board candidates

An education and children's advocacy group has endorsed four Portland School Board incumbents and one challenger.

Shannon Campion, director of Stand for Children's Portland chapter, said the organization supported the incumbents in their first bids for office four years ago, and each has delivered.

Stand will support incumbent David Wynde over challenger Michelle Schultz in the Zone 2 race. Wynde's steady leadership and focus on academic achievement in his first term edged out Schultz's passion and interesting ideas, Campion said. Wynde will receive campaign help from Stand.

In the Zone 1 race, both incumbent Doug Morgan and challenger Ruth Adkins received the endorsement. Morgan's financial stewardship and commitment to community participation impressed, Campion said. As for Adkins: "She will be very committed to ensuring there's more public engagement at the front end of some decision-making."

Incumbents Dilafruz Williams in Zone 7 and Bobbie Regan in Zone 3 are running unopposed. Stand endorsed both. Portland School Board members represent zones but are elected at-large. Election Day is May 15.
