Wow, out of all of the interviews, this woman said the least. I guess we need more business here in MC but there's no ideas on how to do that or any other single idea here. Unless I missed something, it seems like this woman had a light bulb go off over her head. The light bulb said "More Business!" and she just ran with it. It doesn't seem like any further thought has been put into this at all.

@Sarahfina I'm so glad you read all the interviews and are forming opinions about the race. It's really important that we have a thorough discussion amongst our readers about who we want in the county commission.

I think it's about time that someone with experience like Loretta lent her clear understanding of how decisions at a federal, state and city levels directly effect Multnomah County issues. Count government needs an experienced person who can take into account "all" political issues and make decisions that proactively help small business and the county. From what I see she has the strongest qualifications.

I was very impressed with Ms. Smith's wealth of knowledge on all the area's and issued referred to in the article. It seems her experience and relationships with local government would be a plus to moving the county forward in a positive and productive manner. Knowledge, Honesty and Dedication are the things lacking in candidates, I feel Ms. Smith fills the void and would be an well qualified Commissioner.

Ms. Smith is a seasoned, knowlegeable, likeable candidate for Multnomah County Commission. It would be a privilege for our community to have her as one of the five leaders of the Commission.
We have not had real advocacy for businesses at the County level in many years.
Thank you for this refreshing interview and candidate. She should win!
