Portland, Ore. – The Portland Business Alliance board of directors today announced its endorsement of Charlie Hales in the race for mayor of Portland.
“The City of Portland needs a mayor with good, sound judgment and an even temperament who can proudly represent the city in any corner of the world,” said Sandra McDonough, president & CEO of the Portland Business Alliance. “The events and news reports of the past few weeks convinced us that only one candidate – Charlie Hales – fits that description. And Charlie has the ability to bring people together – even when they disagree – to get things done for the good of the entire city.”
Alliance board endorsements are based on a process that includes candidate interviews conducted by its endorsement committee and a review of the candidates’ responses to its Value of Jobs questionnaire, followed by a vote by the full board. Two-thirds of the board members present must agree before an endorsement is made.
