Database: Portland campaign contributions
PORTLAND, Ore. -- The results aren’t quite in on the two Portland general election races, for mayor and an open City Council seat. However, the money is certainly flowing into the candidates’ coffers.
With three weeks left before the election, mayoral wannabes Charlie Hales and Jefferson Smith have raised more than $1.8 million collectively for the general and primary elections, with Hales pulling in larger donations but holding only a slight edge in fundraising.
(Eileen Brady , who lost in the primary, spent another $1 million in losing to Hales and Smith.)
On the Council side, Mary Nolan and Amanda Fritz have collected about $550,000 between them, with Nolan nabbing $447,000 of that total (Fritz had set strict fundraising limits for most of the campaign).

Someone stick a fork in Jefferson, he's done.Â

One or two hiccups in a persons past are excusable, certain crimes excepted, but the extent of his past behaviors tend to indicate a Man who isn't really all that interested in abiding by the rules. Given the Portland voters experience with the current occupant of the Mayors office, I'm not of the belief that Mr Smith has a snowballs chance at this point of winning.Â

The pulling of endorsements, I tend to believe, is a death spiral for any candidate. Save any major revelations that come forward about Mr Hales, I think he's going to get the nod in two weeks.Â
@MarkKpic He is so done that he is jerky.
