PORTLAND, Ore. – Former City Commissioner Charlie Hales and state Rep. Jefferson Smith will head for a November runoff in their race to be the next mayor of Portland.

Election results as of Wednesday morning had Hales with 38 percent of the vote, Smith with 31 percent and businesswoman Eileen Brady with 23 percent. The city charter dictates that the top two finishers in a primary square off in November.

Shortly after 11 p.m., Brady conceded the race and congratulated Smith and Hales. She also thanked them for running a clean campaign and hoped it would stay that way.

"For all the people of Portland: I've heard you. Jefferson and Charlie have heard you," she said. "We need to build a strong economy and we have to have a job base here that supports all Portlanders. We need to fully fund our schools. We need to truly take care of our children, from their education all the way through creating career opportunities."

She said it was too early to endorse either Hales or Smith.

Subtle energy, the invisible aspect of our being, is an integral part of our every day experience, whether we are consciously aware of it or not. The condition of our energy anatomy directly influences us on many levels: physical, mental, emotional. When our energy fields are clear and strong, we enjoy a physically vibrant body; quietness of mind; and emotional balance / calmness in stressful situations. When the energy field is compromised or depleted, these qualities are impaired, possibly contributing to burnout, job dissatisfaction and personal illness.

Election Day is Tuesday and if you haven't dropped off your ballot yet, you have until 8 p.m. that day to do so. No need to panic, though. There are plenty of locations that serve as drop-off points.
