2016
The city of Portland, Oregon, held elections for mayor and two of its four city commission seats on May 17, 2016. Despite a large number of candidates in all three races, the mayoral and City Commission Position No. 1 races were both determined in the primary with Oregon Treasurer Ted Wheeler (D) and incumbent Commissioner Amanda Fritz winning more than half the votes in their respective races.
The City Commission Position No. 4 race, however, required a runoff election on November 8, 2016. Incumbent Steve Novick was the top vote recipient in the primary, but did not secure a majority of the votes cast. He was defeated by Chloe Eudaly in the general election.
The May election was called a primary, but it was functionally a general election. A runoff election—called in this case a general election—was only held on November 8, 2016, for races where no single candidate received a majority (50 percent plus one) of the votes cast on the May ballot.[1]

Broussard provided the following statement for the Multnomah County primary election voters' pamphlet:
| “ | I’ve owned businesses, worked for major companies, and donated thousands of hours in public service. It gives me a different perspective on spending our tax dollars. It’s OUR money, not THEIR money.
Portlanders need to know who represents them. With over 619,000 people, and growing, represented by a Mayor and 4 Council Members we don’t know who to talk to about our concerns. My first step as Mayor is to assign each council member a specific District to give voice to Portlanders. You will know who represents you. Downtown will be clean and safe. As a former US Marine and Vietnam Veteran, I will work passionately to solve the Homeless Veteran issues of Portland and continue the work I have been doing on an individual basis. We will address Veteran Benefits, housing, mental health care and access to medical care for all Veterans. As a small business owner I understand the struggles of businesses in Portland. I will address both sides of the issues, for business and employees. The lack of adequate Representation has caused many of our problems. We will listen to, connect with and inform our Seniors, Youths and Law Enforcement. We will know the concerns, fears, needs and desires of Portlanders. This is the City of Roses, the front door of Oregon.[3] |
