News and Culture

For those of you wondering what the hell goes on when we bring candidates in to our august offices for endorsement interviews, wonder no more.

Thanks to our friends at Portland Community Media, all our candidate interviews are scheduled to air over the next month covering contested area primaries for Congress, the state Legislature, City Council, Multnomah County, Metro. And they’ll also televise our interviews in statewide races for Attorney General and Secretary of State.

You can check listings here; in addition, we’ll be posting endorsement videos on WWire every day. Below are some of the initial broadcasts, followed by the footage of our City Council Seat 1 interview—just a sample of the wonk-candy to come.
