Apply for our endorsement

Portland for All will endorse candidates for Portland City Council Districts 3 and 4, Multnomah County Chair, Multnomah County Commission District 2, and the remaining Multnomah County Judge races, all of which are up for election in November 2026.

We want to support value-aligned candidates who believe in a hopeful, positive, and inclusive vision for our future. We will endorse leaders who are accountable to everyday working people, not beholden to wealthy special interests.
