- Portland Mayor - Jim Francesconi (JimFrancesconiforMayor.com)
Provides Web page for the candidate for Mayor of Portland.
Editor's Note: Some of the information on this site is misleading. For example, Mr. Francesconi states on his Web site that he "Created Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN)..." A history of the SUN programs on the SUN site, however, states: "The decision for the City of Portland and Multnomah County to partner together to support schools happened in 1998 under the leadership of former Multnomah County Chair Beverly Stein, City Commissioner Jim Francesconi and then County Commissioner Diane Linn."
In the online Voter's Pamphlet, Mr. Francesconi claims that he "started a community based youth-to-work coalition that placed 700 gang-involved youth in jobs with 250 Portland employers." His television ads also make the claim. Unfortunately, Portland does not have a youth-to-work coalition that placed 700 gang-involved youth in jobs. 5-04
- Portland Mayor - Jim Francesconi and Tom Potter (Willamette Weekly)

The other top contenders for mayor, including Jerry Adams, Phil Busse, and James Posey, have limited their contributions to $100 or less--thereby preventing a conflict of interest, impropriety, or even the appearance of conflict of interest. 3-04
