We've got a big screen. We've got popcorn. We've got patriotic cocktails. And yes, we've even got presidential debate bingo! Join us tonight — bar opens at 3, the debate starts at 6.

Here at Swift Public Affairs, we're teaming up with our good friends at Pacific Standard — Portland's finest cocktail establishment — to host a watch party for the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The race for the Portland City Council is on, with 71 candidates and counting! With public financing, the grassroots money chase is critical for victory.
At Swift, we've built some awesome visualizations that answer what you really want to know... who's winning?!
Finally, @MingusMapps4pdx was all alone in the race for Mayor of Portland for months, until December, when @Rene4Portland seized a lead he's not given up since. @CommRubio is coming on fast and has now passed up Mapps, as has Keith Wilson (barely).
Stay tuned for more soon!
In D4, Olivia Clark, Tony Morse & @Lykins4pdx led a small field at 2023's end. But 2024 has seen others join the top ranks, including Stan Penkin, @Ben4Portland, @Bob4Portland, @EliForPortland & @Mitch4Portland. Will @MosesRoss & Eric Zimmerman make a summer push? We'll see!
In D1, @steph4eastpdx got in early and fast, and continues to lead. @enderinestpdx and @candaceforpdx are chasing at her heels. But don't count out @jamiedunphy and @hayes4portland!
Oh, and a methodological note: All data pulled directly from ORESTAR. We only counted contributions made after candidates filed their NOI paperwork with the city. Some candidates choose to delay reporting to ORESTAR by 30 days, so some donations might not be visible here.
