City Commissioner Carmen Rubio is also running for mayor and spoke to reporters before the voting deadline. She said she didn't know how she would fare in election returns, but she said she was feeling good and was hopeful because people want to see Portland improve.

She said it was important that diverse voices be heard.

"Voices that are working people, voices that are women, voices that are people of color, Black and Indigenous voices, we need trans voices, everyone. We need to be as inclusive – because that's the Portland of today," she said outside the Sports Bra in Northeast Portland, where her campaign and supporters had gathered.
