Efforts to remove Mayor Ted Wheeler from office began within weeks of his winning reelection.
Ted Wheeler was the first Portland mayor elected to a second term in 20 years, winning reelection last November. But he could be forced back on the ballot in a recall election later this year.
If that happens, he will face his toughest opponent himself. The only question will be whether he should stay in office, not whether he is better than another candidate.
Wheeler won with 46% of the vote at the 2020 general election, defeating progressive urban planning advocate Sarah Iannarone, who received 41%. The remaining 13% went to write-in candidates, including activist Teressa Raiford. That plurality was enough for Wheeler to win the election. But it shows voters were deeply split over him, and the city has faced months of additional turmoil since then.
