Plan this Mayor campaign
A council ballot explanation is not an appropriate substitute. Retain the mayor committee and election resource separately from campaign invitations, with an approved response route for procedural questions.
The local seat and context
Portland Mayor is an elected municipal office; use the official citywide or consolidated-government contest record.
Portland's redesigned council uses four multi-member districts and ranked-choice voting. Mayor and Auditor are separate citywide offices; the old commissioner system is not the current council model.
