May 2021 Video Voters’ Guide

Interviews with Candidates for School Boards

We invited ALL Multnomah County candidates to participate in interviews for this Video Voters’ Guide.  The Portland League paid for recording the videos. Participation was free for candidates.

League volunteers interviewed the 18 candidates who accepted our invitations. We asked them to tell us how they would handle issues they would face if elected. Click on the candidates’ names to view these 8 to 10 minute videos. We hope listening to these candidates helped voters choose among the candidates, when they voted.
