The 2024 Multnomah County District Attorney election will be held on May 21, 2024 and November 5, 2024, concurrent with the 2024 statewide general elections, to elect the District Attorney of Multnomah County, Oregon, which includes the major city of Portland.[1]
Even though the election is technically finalized on November 5th, 2024, ORS 249.088 determines that this nonpartisan office can be won at the Primary Election if two or more candidates file for this office and one receives the majority of votes (more than 50%).[5] As the result, the election could be finalized on May 21st, 2024 if one of the candidates gets more than 50% of the votes.
Incumbent District Attorney Mike Schmidt was elected in 2020 with 77% of the vote, despite his opponent receiving the incumbents endorsement. Schmidt was appointed by governor Kate Brown to start his term earlier than expected in order to replace Rod Underhill, who retired in the middle of his term.
Schmidt, who has announced his intention to run for reelection, has been a controversial District Attorney. He is considered a progressive, and famously refused to prosecute people who were arrested for participating in the George Floyd protests that began in early May of 2023 unless there was "deliberate property damage, theft, or threat of force." By August 11 of that year, the office only prosecuted 47 felonies out of 550 referred protest cases.[2]
