2002 Portland, Oregon City Commission election

The 2002 Portland City Commission elections were held on May 21, 2002, and November 5, 2002, to elect two positions on the Portland, Oregon City Council, with a special election to elect an additional position held on September 17, 2002 and November 5, 2002.[1]

Incumbents Erik Sten and Dan Saltzman both won re-election to positions 2 and three respectively. Both won outright by receiving over 50% of the vote in the primary, thereby avoiding a runoff. State Representative Randy Leonard won a general special election for position 4 outright with over 50% of the vote due to the resignation of Charlie Hales, who later became Mayor.
