Endorsement Process

November 2024 City of Portland Candidate Endorsements

Building Power for Communities of Color endorses both ballot measures and candidates. In November 2024, we will be endorsing candidates in the City of Portland’s Mayor, Auditor, and City Council races.

BPCC anticipates endorsing multiple candidates in each district. Candidates identified as champions for racial equity and justice will be able to use BPCC’s logo and name, including on their website, mailings, field literature, and Voters Pamphlet Statement.

Candidates who have demonstrated solid alignment with BPCC’s policy priorities and have a track record of working for racial equity may receive a “green light” from BPCC and will be listed on our website as additional candidates that BPCC recommends ranking. Green lit candidates will be able to use our name and green light status on their website and social media.

Our endorsements for the Multnomah County Commission. were made in May. Two supported candidates, Meghan Moyer and Shannon Singleton, have advanced to the November runoff and we continue our endorsement.
