2016

See also: Municipal elections in Portland, Oregon (2016)

The city of Portland, Oregon, held elections for mayor and two of its four city commission seats on May 17, 2016. Despite a large number of candidates in all three races, the mayoral and City Commission Position No. 1 races were both determined in the primary with Oregon Treasurer Ted Wheeler (D) and incumbent Commissioner Amanda Fritz winning more than half the votes in their respective races.

The City Commission Position No. 4 race, however, required a runoff election on November 8, 2016. Incumbent Steve Novick was the top vote recipient in the primary, but did not secure a majority of the votes cast. He was defeated by Chloe Eudaly in the general election.

The May election was called a primary, but it was functionally a general election. A runoff election—called in this case a general election—was only held on November 8, 2016, for races where no single candidate received a majority (50 percent plus one) of the votes cast on the May ballot.[1]

The following candidates ran in the mayoral primary election.[2]

2016

Iannarone provided the following statement for the Multnomah County primary election voters' pamphlet:

Portland is changing. The growing pains are intense, but opportunities abound. I bring the bold vision, practical experience, and collaborative capacity needed to keep Portland unique as we grow.

A city that moves is a city that works…

As a sustainability expert, I advise cities how to finance infrastructure. I can build partnerships that ensure our safety, mobility, and productivity.

I will:

  • Repair and unclog streets
  • Set ambitious goals to reduce traffic fatalities to zero
  • Build healthy, connected neighborhoods across Portland

A city that works, works for everyone…

I opened my restaurant in Outer Southeast Portland to create good paying jobs in a diverse neighborhood where my employees can afford to live. A locally-based economy is strong and equitable.

I will:

  • Increase access to quality education and employment, especially for low-income Portlanders and communities of color
  • Ensure affordability for ALL to live, work, create, and play
  • Invest in a world-class, community-driven Police Bureau

A city that works for everyone is prosperous, resilient, and sustainable…

I put myself through college while raising a family and starting a business. I have worked at all levels of this city to make it the best place it can be. I will represent Portland as a Mayor we can be proud to call our own.

I will:

  • Grow our city sustainably, equitably, and beautifully
  • Reform government to be smart, effective, and inclusive
  • Strengthen communities to withstand disaster and climate change[3]
—Sarah Iannarone (2016)[5]
