Thank you, Portland votes, for getting rid of Schmidt! I hope Nathan Vasquez will do his job and make Portland a safer city.

[@SarahDigsHockey]

What is sad about this is that the change won't be made until January. That leaves Schmidt with seven more months to continue his rampage against actual justice.

[@chrisbowman1367]

What’s shocking is that any fool voted for Schmidt.

[@jamesklaatu9359]

Over 40% of the county's stupidest voters did!

[@ridesharebeware5747]

I have rarely had any kind of calculated emotional reaction to a politician. But I absolutely couldn't stand Mike Schmidt and JoAnn Hardesty.

[@winstonsmith8588]

Good. Now we just need a new police chief and mayor.

[@MarvinThiessen]

Agreed! Problem is the next mayor will have limited power because progressives still embrace the "Kum-Bi-Ya" roundtable that talks up a storm and accomplishes very little.

[@laughfaster1]

And Governor

[@rsvpevents6780]

If you want to be compassionate, run a puppy rescue. Don’t decide for your city that you will not prosecute crime. That’s cruel to the victims, not compassionate to the criminals.

[@The_Black_Knight]

Perhaps the future will improve. To the former district attorney, please leave Oregon State forever. You are hated.

[@asea5130]

Please help us Vasqez!

5/23/2024 - why say roughly 8 point lead? Why not just say 8 point lead?

[@babubhaiharribhai6441]

Win id kene ok

[@rossweakley7194]

Good

[@jamesklaatu9359]

Bring on the tar and feathers!

[@babubhaiharribhai6441]

Indian sete ke ok

[@derekl9702]

They voted against incompetence. (Left or right) The right should try it sometimes.

[@dave0051]

They voted against this woke bullshit.

[@allouttabubblegum1984]

I don't see Republican-run cities being ruined by bad policies 🤡

[@a.w.cormier4355]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I voted for change, but Vazquez said Trump is dangerous and is proud he prosecuted Proud Boys during the summer of love

[@grapeape780]

Proud Boys were glowies so I'm ok with that one.

[@heatherpayne1995]

Sounds like a good man. 👍 Don't do crimes if you don't want to be prosecuted for them.

[@cutjack242]

He sounds good to me.

[@stonedcyclist6392]

Uh the proud boys are not the good guys my dude

[@waynebooker498]

These last four years have shown what lenient on crime (and that's being very generous), has gotten us. I think at this point Schmidt-Head would have lost to Kermit The Frog.

[@babubhaiharribhai6441]

Indian se teke ok
