It's Now
{etween
Noelle,
Bunnell
Candidates John Bunnell and Dan
Noelle will face each other in a race for
Multnomah County Sheriff during a run
off election on May 16.
The two men were the top vote-
getters in last w eek’s special election.
Neither received the required 50 percent
plus one majority needed win outright.
Vera Pool and Mark Hanson, the
two other candidates in a four-way field,
finished third and fourth, respectfully,
taking them out o f the running.
Bunnell, the acting M ultnom ah
County Sheriff, won 41 percent o f the
vote. Noelle, an assistant chief with the
Portland Police Bureau, took 29 percent
o f the ballots counted
Multnomah County S h eriff s Lieu
tenant Vera Pool, finished with 24 per
cent o f the vote, and Hanson, a Clacka
mas County sh e riffs sergeant, was able
to get just 5 percent o f the ballots cast.
Only 27 percent o f registered voters
participated in the mail ballot election.
For Pool, it was her second attempt
at being elected sheriff. She ran for the
post last year and lost a close election to
former Sheriff Bob Skipper
But the office opened up again last
fall, when Skipper decided to retire early
in the wake o f voter approval o f Ballot
Measure 8, the November initiate taking
away six percent o f the retirement bene
fits o f public employees.
Bunnell, 50, joined the sheriff de
partment at age 24, working his way up
the ranks. He was appointed chief deputy
o f corrections last July. He also gained
fame as a host for the television series
“American Detective.”
Bunnell said he would push for more
minority hiring, creating better employ
ee opportunities and eliminate unneces
sary positions.
Noelle began his law enforcement
career as a patrol officer on the inner east
side o f Portland and worked on the streets
for more than 15 years He was the bu
reau's public information officer for three
years Noelle said expanding jail space
was his top priority.
