2018 Election cycle wraps up


The 2018 midterm election came to a close last Tuesday night. The Portland Metropolitan region saw several high profile races this election cycle, impacting the way our region approaches land development and residential building. No matter what the outcome, the HBA will continue to engage with and build valuable relationships with our regions elected officials to achieve pro-housing and building polices. 

The HBA’s Government Affairs Committee conducted candidate interviews throughout 2018, focusing on the region’s Mayoral races, bond campaigns, and local city and county races for the November election cycle. Additionally, a joint meeting of the HBA Board and Government Affairs Committee was held to address two critical items: the Metro Affordable Housing Bond and the Washington County Commission Chair race.

For the most part there are no certainties in democratic elections, with the exception that there will be winners and losers. While not every one of our endorsed candidates made it through their hard fought races, as a whole our political efforts did pay off with many HBA supported candidates claiming victories in the primary election and several industry champions achieving office in the general.

The following is a summary of the results for the HBA’s endorsed candidates and measures in both the 2018 primary and general elections. These endorsements were made following the Government Affairs Committee process of identifying key races, conducting candidate interviews and voting on which candidate to support as an organization.
