We’re energized to launch our endorsement process for the upcoming May 20th Special District Election. Our goal is to drive progressive outcomes in East Multnomah County by ensuring that our school boards better reflect the diverse and forward-thinking communities they serve. To help achieve this, we invite candidates who share our values and vision to apply for our endorsement by the March 3rd deadline.
Candidates can apply through one of the following options:
- Complete the Oregon Futures Lab’s Switchboard application, along with our supplemental candidate questions (preferred option), or;
- Complete our full endorsement questionnaire if you are not seeking endorsement from multiple community organizations via Switchboard.
East County Rising is committed to being actively involved in school board races across East Multnomah County. We strongly encourage individuals who live in the area and are passionate about making a difference in education to apply. Our endorsement represents the backing of one of the most vibrant political organizations in East County, and it can provide key resources and support, including inclusion in our voter guides, social media outreach, financial contributions, and field organizing efforts.
If you need any assistance or would like an alternative format, please contact Helena Guerrero Sullivan at helena@eastcountyrisingaction.org.
