We are excited to kick off our endorsement process for the November 5th General Election. Our goal is to achieve progressive outcomes in East Multnomah County by ensuring that our government better represents our diverse and progressive communities. With this in mind, we invite candidates who share our values and vision to seek our endorsement.
To be considered for an endorsement, we ask candidates to carefully review our East County Rising endorsement packet and complete the Candidate Questionnaire by the July 7 deadline. Please submit all materials (preferably in Word Document format) to our Political Director, Robin Ye, at robin@eastcountyrisingaction.
Our endorsement means support from one of the most vibrant political organizations in East County, potentially providing resources and support such as inclusion in our voter guides, social media outreach, financial contributions, and field organizing support.
We’re targeting several critical races across state and local levels, including State Attorney General, Secretary of State, various legislative districts, local mayoral and city council positions throughout East Multnomah County. If you’re interested, or know someone who would be a great candidate, we highly encourage you or them to apply after reviewing the full endorsement packet.
Thank you for standing with us as we work towards a more inclusive and progressive East Multnomah County.
