Loretta Smith, a former Multnomah County Commissioner who has long eyed a return to elected office, said that she will run for Portland City Council this fall, ending months of speculation.
After two unsuccessful City Hall bids in 2018 and 2020, Smith, 59, will attempt a third under Portland’s new form of government, which expands the size of the council from five to 12 members who will be chosen by voters across four geographic districts.
