2023 primary Election candidate & measure Endorsements
HBA has made its first round of endorsements for this year’s Primary Election on May 16th, 2023. Among our political recommendations, our organization is backing the NO Campaign actively fighting against Measure 26-238, the misguided capital gains tax proposal in Multnomah County. Additionally, we have endorsed the candidacy of Julia Brim-Edwards for Multnomah County’s District #3 race. We are also supporting nearly a dozen local bonds and levies throughout the region that will retain or increase services for police, fire, schools, and public infrastructure projects.
HBA's Government Affairs Committee made endorsement decisions based on several interviews, and in some cases, will contribute to the candidates and measures through our political action committee, Oregonians for Affordable Housing (OFAH). Through OFAH, HBA is able to support pro-housing and business-friendly candidates. This support helps to strengthen relationships with our region's policy-makers, allowing us to work together to address critical industry issues.
