Good morning friends and supporters,

Yesterday, March 10th was the last day for local county candidates to file for the upcoming election cycle at my office. We had TWENTY candidates file for seven county positions by the 5 p.m. deadline.

The County Clerk is a constitutional office and per statute must be elected in the November General Election. Because I have only one opponent, we both advance automatically to the November General Election without a primary. I, Catherine McMullen will be on the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot for re-election as your Clackamas County Clerk.

The energy in my office and the potential for civic engagement in Clackamas County is high this spring with so many choices for voters! I also welcome having an opponent for the November General Election. The great thing about democracy is that it gives people a voice, and an opportunity to make choices about the future of our communities. I'm proud of my record as your County Clerk; rebuilding trust in our elections, ensuring access to services, officiating weddings for all couples, and welcoming all residents to be part of our local government.

You can learn more about the May 19, 2026 Primary Election and see who has filed for office at the Clackamas County Elections website.

Your engagement this year is especially important. You have the opportunity to support local democratic processes and ensure that our elections continue to be safe and secure, accurate and trusted. Make a donation today to support democracy.

Thank you for your support,

Catherine McMullen, your Clackamas County Clerk

Catherine McMullen has already been endorsed for re-election as Clackamas County Clerk in November by elected officials, organizations, unions, and community leaders across the county.

Catherine is honored to have the continued support of Governor Barbara Roberts. She was the first woman governor in Oregon, serving from 1991-1995. She also was our Secretary of State from 1984 - 1990, serving as Oregon's head election official. 

Catherine shares, "Governor Roberts began her political career as a legislative advocate for children with disabilities, advocating for her son Mike who was diagnosed with autism, when school authorities would no longer accept him as a student. I've looked to Roberts as a mentor not just in elections administration, and my political career, but also on how to be an advocate and mother for my own autistic child. Governor Roberts has made her mark on generations of women leaders and I am proud to be among them."

"I trust Catherine to be my clerk and head election official." - Governor Barbara Roberts Thank you Governor!

You too can endorse Catherine McMullen for a second term as Clackamas County Clerk. Visit Catherine's Endorsements Page to see some of her supporters and add your name. Your voice is needed.
