Grab your phones, Multnomah County voters, because it's your chance to grill the district attorney hopefuls on the hot seat ahead of the critical May election. The Oregonian/OregonLive and KGW are serving up an invitational for the public to pitch in their pressing concerns in a debate set to light up screens on May 2—where DA candidates Mike Schmidt and Nathan Vasquez will go head-to-head, according to Oregon Live.
There's no shying away from the spotlight this time; both contenders are prepped to field queries fired straight from the electorate's lips, and time's ticking—your video questions need to be in by April 28. Instructions are clear: hold your phone horizontally, make sure your spot's quiet, and light it up well because clarity is non-negotiable, to get your voice carried across, keep it short, 20 seconds tops, and shoot it over to [email protected] without addressing either candidate directly, as per Oregon Live.
Circle your calendars, the election showdown kicks off on May 21, but the last chance to play director to the political narrative is closing fast. As suggested by KGW, engaging now means your voice becomes part of the choice, a direct pipeline to the folks vying to become the top prosecutor in Multnomah County. So speak now, or forever hold your peace.
