Judy Shiprack Wins Primary

The Primary results are clear - and convincing. My campaign not only defeated five other contenders and won a more-than-clear margin, but with 37% of the vote, I go to a November run-off with twice as many votes as the closest competitor who had 17%.

The credit for this huge margin of victory goes to the voters in District #3. Clearly, they want my background, compassion, and years of public service at work for them in Multnomah County. They voted for my ability to work well with other Commissioners and for my determination to advance OUR agenda in partnership with the State Legislature and with the City of Portland.
