we tell you what the news isn’t reporting
we tell you what the news isn’t reporting & the politicians don’t want you to know.
I’ve been under the impression for some time that incumbent judges had to receive a specific amount of votes to retain their elected positions. I was wrong. I called the Multnomah’s County Elections office today for clarity and unfortunately found out this just isn’t true.
.
Why are judges running unopposed on your ballot? As I understand it from insiders in the judicial system, often qualified attorneys don’t run for the judge positions against incumbents because it requires a lot of money and campaign prowess to unseat the incumbent, and more importantly if they were to lose their election (likely) they would find themselves in the judges courtroom presenting cases after their campaign loss.
Kate brown appointed more judges than any Governor in our history combined.
.
What can we do as citizens? We must have people run for these positions and support them with our voice and campaigns. If you are thinking of running for a judge position in Multnomah County to oppose the status quo, I would like to hear from you and help.
.
Additionally our legislature has the power to change the Governor’s ability to appoint judges. This is yet another reason we need to support, campaign and vote for legislators who want to create balance in the legislature. #orpol #multnomahcountycourthouse #oregonjudgesyou

Oregon Department of Transportation is our largest Bureau at $6 billion a year. Their funding doesn't go through the legislature like all other bureaus. We haven't expanded our freeways in 35 years. Most agree the Hwy 205 Abernathy to Stafford Road area needs expanded. ODOT says…
