Eudaly Prevails

"The election for the Portland City Council seat currently held by Commissioner Chloe Eudaly will extend into November as voters have forced the incumbent into a runoff with political newcomer Mingus Mapps."

As of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Eudaly led with 31.3% of the vote and Mapps with 28.6%.

Former Mayor Sam Adams missed out on a spot in the Nov. 3 general election, capturing 56,933 votes or 27.7%.

 Just 1,764 votes separated Mapps and Adams in the race.

"A former bookstore owner who is a strong advocate for disability and renters’ rights, Eudaly while in office has spearheaded two renter protection policies, one requiring landlords to provide evicted tenants with relocation payments and the other lowering barriers to securing a rental home.

She ordered code enforcement officers to limit punishing people sleeping in RVs or tiny homes on private property, and championed the city financing free legal defense for Portlanders in Immigration Court."
