Candidates

In 2022, Portland voters passed a ballot measure that ended all terms for elected officials and expanded Portland City Council from five to twelve members. As a result, fourteen city seats must be elected in 2024 to populate the new government.

This tracker lists all candidates who will appear on the ballot. It is intended for educational purposes only. Rose City Reform is not associated with any political campaign or candidate, nor do we make candidate endorsements.
