CPO 1 Meeting: Candidate Forum
Tuesday, March 10, 7-9 pm, online via zoom
For our last meeting, we are once again hosting a candidate forum so our neighbors can meet and make decisions about candidates wanting to represent us. We will also have a presentation from THPRD about their Bond Measure.
- County Commissioner at-large (chair): Pam Treece and Nafisa Fai
- County Commissioner District 2: Blayne Soleymani-Pearson and Felicita Monteblanco
- Metro District 4: Alex Phan and Miles Palacios
- Oregon House District 27: Tammy Carpenter and Ashley Hartmeier Prigg
- Oregon House District 34: Mari Watanabe
- Oregon State Senate: Lisa Reynolds
- THPRD Bond Measure
We have confirmed participation from everyone except the District 34 and State Senate candidates at press time. There will be time for each candidate to make a statement focused on their view of issues and solutions for our area, and probably time for one or two questions each. If you’d like to submit questions in advance, send them to cpo1leaders@gmail.com.
Farewell and stay connected!
This will all be on your ballot for the May 19 election. Normally we’d host such a forum closer to the election, but as we have mentioned, this is the final meeting of CPO 1. Washington County is in the process of developing an alternative program that will focus on county programs and will be led by county staff. More information from the county is here.
We plan to continue our CPO 1 Facebook page and we’ll share any local development and other news we are able to get. If you’re not a member, you can sign up when you visit. We don’t know what will happen with the large email list of people who currently get updates from the CPO system but we likely won’t have any access to it. It’s unclear if we will continue to get development materials, but anyone can sign up for LUT News that is published weekly and has Neighborhood Meetings and other information.
