Far-left Portland DA Mike Schmidt on track for defeat to tough-on-crime former Republican
Voters in Oregon were on the brink Wednesday of ousting progressive Portland DA Mike Schmidt and replacing him with one of his deputies who was once a Republican and has vowed to crack down on rampant crime and drug abuse.
As of Wednesday morning, with about 63% of the vote counted, Schmidt was trailing Nathan Vasquez by 11.9 percentage points — a difference of more than 117,000 votes, according to the latest tally.
“I am committed to fulfilling those campaign promises. I’m committed to ending the open-air drug use, to ending the open-air drug dealing that we have suffered from as a community,” Vasquez told his supporters Tuesday night.
“I am also committed to restoring that idea that it is OK to hold people accountable and doing it in a compassionate manner.”
