Points off
I wrote yesterday with my picks for the Multnomah County circuit court judgeships up for grabs in the election now under way, and one of my choices was Laura Rowan, currently an attorney in the state Justice Department.
Then the mailman dropped off Rowan's election porn, and it contained a few passages that gave me pause.
I still plan to vote for Rowan. She seems to be the best choice. But I kinda wish I hadn't seen any of that.



Perfect thought Jack. Keeping the cops dumb sounds weird and fitting for Portland
ReplyDeleteLove to see that (ret) after Earl's name- but decades too late.
ReplyDeleteIt's known as a political machine; the most important tentacles are the top job, but also the AG and the judges. Always, the judges. Any halfway sentient litigant always knows who'll be hearing the effort to unravel the machine...at which point they give up and spend their money elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd I kinda wish she had better judgement than to put pics of her tender-age children on her campaign mailers...
ReplyDeleteI agree, using the kids as a political prop is uncool. I think the point of that particular photo is, "Hey! I'm hetero!"
DeleteHetro’s going to cost her votes in Portland.
Deletetwo pre trans boys.....woud that win the quagmire?...maybe she is also polyamorous and husband isnt the dad......
