KBOO's Daily Roundtable with the City Council Candidates in YOUR District

Portlanders have a lot on their plate this election – a new form of government to elect leaders to, and a new style of voting – ranked choice. There's a lot of candidates to know before going to your ballot – that's where Running On Air comes in.

Every weekday, we'll be sitting down with the candidates in your district, learning more about them and their policy ideas. It'll be a roundtable discussion with a handful of candidates each episode, hosted by some of your favorite KBOO personalities. We'll base the topics of conversation on what our listeners said they care about most on our Election Agenda Survey.

Our advice? Focus in on the candidates and episodes that are about where YOU live and get to know who will be on your ballot. 

Monday - District 1

Tuesday - District 2

Wednesday - District 3

Thursday - District 4

Friday - Mayor

Find your district here.
