Portland Phoenix | It's Time To Vote: Phoenix Endorsements for the 2018 Elections | Features

Voting Day is Tuesday, November 6 — and it’s a crucial one! (Unless you've already done the deed via early voting, in which case good for you.)

The Phoenix asked questions of each candidate in the city and state races of the 2018 midterm elections. We condensed their answers best we could, quoting them directly when possible, and offer our endorsements in each race.
