Even Portland, Oregon Voters Want Law and Order

Ever since the Black Lives Matter riots consumed Portland, Oregon in 2020, the city has had a reputation as an ungovernable mess, with businesses fleeing as crime, fentanyl use, and homelessness have soared.

Voters finally got a say in stopping this and boy did they kick @$$.

Mike Schmidt was elected Multnomah County prosecutor with the backing of George Soros-linked progressive groups just weeks before the 2020 riots, and he immediately became a poster child for “woke” criminal justice.

His office rejected 82% of protest-related cases between 2020 and 2022. Business owners took this as the county’s top prosecutor encouraging lawbreaking.

Good news, Nathan Vasquez, a longtime prosecutor in Schmidt’s office in Multnomah County, ran on fighting crime and Vasquez won—defeating Schmidt.

Progressives also lost Democratic primaries in two Portland-area Congressional districts to more moderate candidates. In one, the left-wing standard bearer was Susheela Jayapal, sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal, head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Schmidt is the latest progressive DA to be ushered out of office. Two years ago, San Francisco voters recalled reformer Chesa Boudin, and the top prosecutor in Chicago, Kim Foxx, retired and was replaced by a tough-as-nails judge.

The next stop in the drive to oust radical DAs is in California where both Oakland and Los Angeles County will see Soros-backed prosecutors facing potential defeat.
