Good morning friends and supporters,
March 10th was the last day for local county candidates to file for the upcoming election cycle at my office. We had TWENTY candidates file for seven county positions by the 5 p.m. deadline.
The County Clerk is a constitutional office and per statute must be elected in the November General Election. Because I have only one opponent, we both advance automatically to the November General Election without a primary. I, Catherine McMullen will be on the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot for re-election as your Clackamas County Clerk.
The energy in my office and the potential for civic engagement in Clackamas County is high this spring with so many choices for voters! I also welcome having an opponent for the November General Election. The great thing about democracy is that it gives people a voice, and an opportunity to make choices about the future of our communities. I’m proud of my record as your County Clerk; rebuilding trust in our elections, ensuring access to services, officiating weddings for all couples, and welcoming all residents to be part of our local government.
You can learn more about the May 19, 2026 Primary Election and see who has filed for office at the Clackamas County Elections website.
Your engagement this year is especially important. You have the opportunity to support local democratic processes and ensure that our elections continue to be safe and secure, accurate and trusted. Make a donation today to support democracy.
Thank you for your support,
Catherine McMullen, your Clackamas County Clerk
