from Front
The debate among mayoral
candidates was lively, with
hopefuls exchanging barbs,
mostly aimed at Francesconi
and what was viewed as “the
adm inistration.” Francesconi
has been in public office as a
city c o m m issio n er for six
years.
Tom Potter, a form er Port
land police chief, said he ranked
children as his first priority.
He criticized the current ad
ministration for having a lack

to demand stable education
funding from Salem and listed
comprehensive health care and
affordable housing among his
list of goals in office.
Francesconi, the frontrunner
candidate emboldened by pow

$1 million in fundraising, deliv
ered the most polished and in
formed answers to questions
ranging from attracting and
keeping families in the city to
supporting small businesses and
many issues affecting African
Americans.
Referencing the slain civil
rights leader Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.. Francesconi said, “We
need to open the doors of oppor

embracing diversity in schools,
and funding after school pro

“Closing the achievement gap

said Posey.
Fish and Adams appeared to
have a friendly rivalry, and both
spoke passionately and knowl-
