Maria Rojo de Steffy not running for City Commission
From Commissioner Rojo's office:
Commissioner Rojo de Steffey
Statement – Portland City Council
I’ve had the privilege and honor to be involved in public service for the last 20 years, 7 of which have been as an elected official. I’ve enjoyed my many years of public service and I have many things to be proud of.
I made a decision some time ago that I would not seek re-election to my position as Multnomah County Commissioner. During the intense period when the Cesar Chavez decision was being considered, I temporarily lost sight of the reasons why I wanted to leave public service. However, over the Holidays I regained my sanity.
I choose to leave elective office when my County Commission tenure is completed in December of 2008.
I have a great life. I have served my community to the best of my ability for many years. I have many accomplishments and honors from that service that I can share with my grandchildren. I don’t need more.
Therefore, I will not run for election to any office.
Thank you for the privilege.
Maria
