Description

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, left, elected in 2020, and Nathan Vasquez, a prosecutor for 23 years, seek the top job in Oregon’s busiest prosecuting office, with nearly 100 lawyers and an annual budget of about $50 million. The office filed charges in 8,500 new cases last year. The position pays about $234,510 a year.

With about a month until the May 21 primary, the two men vying to serve as Multnomah County district attorney have traded accusations and made claims about crime rates, staffing and management.
