Yesterday was the final day for mayoral hopefuls to file for the May primary election. As per usual, a heap of aspiring Portland politicos crept out from all corners of the city to make their intentions known. And it's not just these guys. Out of the 23 mayoral candidates, I give you a Soul Healer, Golf Retailer, Homemaker, Occupier and a handful of other professionals. I think one of them is even a House Representative. Behold:
Tre Arrow — An Occupier and general activist (known for sitting on a U.S. Forest Service building ledge for nine days in 2000) recently arrested on allegation of domestic violence.
Max Bauske — Portland Community College student and Ron Weasley double who currently rings up Fred Meyer customers.
Samuel Belisle — Consumer slave (has worked at GAP, Red Robin and Abercrombie & Fitch) and Concordia University student.
Eileen Brady —New Seasons co-founder and wholesome soccer mom.
Loren Charles Brown — Former stage actor and on-call firefighter with a spiritual drive.
Max Brumm —Energetic university student with a passion for baseball and politics.
Dave Campbell — According to his filing sheet, Campbell is "unemployed." His website doesn't add much.
Robert James Carron — Artist, writer, and former clerk for the California Attorney General.
Many more after the jump!
