Eder to be Re-Districted to Different Polling Place

At the Portland City Council’s April 19th meeting, East End Councilor Will Gorham questioned whether a candidate could serve as an election worker if his name is on the ballot.

“No,” City Clerk Linda Cohen informed Gorham, but the candidate could work at a poll where his name is not on the ballot, she explained.

The candidate, and election worker they were talking about was West End State Representative John Eder, who is running for re-election in November.

“I didn’t mention any names,” said Gorham, who is also running for re-election.
“No, but others have,” replied Cohen.
