Can DA Challenger Nathan Vasquez Fix Crime in Portland?

On May 21, a primary election is likely to decide whether Mike Schmidt remains Multnomah County’s District Attorney or if instead the job will be passed on to Nathan Vasquez, a prosecutor working in the DA's office. Schmidt has appeared on the show a couple of times, so today we’re talking with Vasquez about why he thinks our city would be safer with him in office.

Events mentioned in today’s episode:

• The Portland Night Market
• ‘Return of the Living Dead 3’ at the Clinton Street Theater
• ’Avatar: The Last Airbender’ in Concert at the Keller Auditorium
• Register to vote in the May primary election
