The District 1 county commissioner election is a referendum on the track record of the Multnomah County government, (“Editorial endorsement November 2024: Elect Vadim Mozyrsky, Sam Adams to energize Multnomah County commission,” Oct. 6). If you are happy with the way the county is run, then vote for the candidate endorsed by County Board Chair Jessica Vega Pederson to continue that status quo. If you want a county that could be effectively managed in a pragmatic, collaborative, and transparent manner, then vote for Vadim Mozyrsky, who is endorsed by the current and former District 1 county commissioners.
