May 2024 primary election
Fill out your ballots with Amanda in the May 2024 primary election episode. We also go over picks for key Washington and Clackamas County races at the top. The audio of the actual episode is terrible and it’s all my fault. Andy Chandler from NW Fresh helped recover it (o the extent it is listen-able, that is all Andy’s talent). But in our opinions, these are the only things that matter in this election. And if you do nothing else, just do this:
Multnomah County District Attorney: Nathan VasquezMultnomah County Commissioners: District 1, Vadim Mozyrsky; District 2, Jessie Burke; District 3, Julia Brim-Edwards; District 4, Vince Jones-DixonState Rep, District 33: Pete Grabiel
