Portland Mayor’s Race: Why Wheeler is Clinton and Bailey is Sanders
Friday, March 11, 2016
The campaign to be the Democratic Presidential nominee is getting more and more heated. Bernie Sanders upset win in Michigan has flipped the proverbial table on Hillary Clinton's plans to be the nominee. In Portland, the two leading candidates for Mayor are beginning to pick up the pace and the dialog.
GoLocalPDX presents a news analysis comparing Ted Wheeler and Jules Bailey and why Wheeler's efforts have many similarities to the Clinton campaign and juxtaposed to the similarities between Bailey's Mayor run and background and how it compares to Sanders.
As both the Democratic Presidential race and the battle to be the nominee for Mayor of Portland have their front runners, both seem to be unable to shake their challengers.
Sanders has raised tens of millions from small donors who support his effort to reform Wall Street and advance a wider progressive effort. Bailey is trying to run an outsider and more progressive effort behind the support of small donors and labor unions
Like Clinton, Wheeler has leveraged his solid Democratic connections to finance and build momentum as the front runner.
