Portland Public, Portland Community College board races see landslide wins
Herman Greene, Julia Brim-Edwards and Gary Hollands won with landslide leads for the Portland Public Schools Board of Education.
In Zone 4, Greene led with 73%. Hollands had 84% in Zone 5 and Brim-Edwards pulled in 81% by the time votes were tallied Wednesday morning.
Greene and Hollands will be newcomers to the PPS board. Brim-Edwards is the only incumbent who ran for re-election to her seat. I want to thank Portland voters and the community for their vote of confidence in returning me to the School Board, and for also electing Gary Hollands and Herman Greene, two leaders who will bring needed perspective, experience and deep community relationships to our work, Brim-Edwards said in a statement released by a campaign representative. We have huge challenges ahead, including safely re-opening schools this fall and continuing our relentless pursuit of more equitable outcomes for all our students. I am

Portland school board candidates have collected $100,000. The single largest donor? The teachers union

Portland school board candidates have brought in nearly $100,000 in donations and more than one quarter of that cash has so far come from one source: the union representing the district’s educators.
With a week to go until Election Day, the Portland Association of Teachers has donated $13,000 each to the campaigns of Herman Greene and Gary Hollands, both of whom the union endorsed, campaign disclosure reports indicate.
Greene’s race, a four-way contest for the Zone 4 position currently held by Rita Moore, is among the most competitive this year.
