Your Candidates, Your Choice 2026

North Star Civic Foundation, Open Signal, and XRAY.fm partnered to produce and distribute Your Candidates, Your Choice 2026. We offered interviews to 2026 candidates in contested races in the City of Portland and Multnomah County. 28 of the 43 declared candidates took us up on this offer. With eight seats available to represent two City Council districts (D3 - Southeast Portland, and D4 - West and Inner SE) as well as Multnomah County Commission District 2, and the Multnomah County Chair, voters are encouraged to learn more about the candidates and to rank their preferences.
