Today's Terrible Judge: Mike Schmidt

Local station KPTV called the #districtattorney race for #Vasquez soon after primary results began pouring in. #NathanVasquez led #Schmidt 55.7 percent to 43.8 percent, a whopping 12-point advantage for the challenger. Schmidt’s overwhelming defeat is part of a broader backlash against #progressives across #Oregon, a deep-blue bastion for experimental left-wing policies. In running against his former boss, Vasquez — a registered Republican until he dropped his affiliation due to “disgust” with #Trump’s rise — has emphasized the decline in police staffing numbers and prosecutions during #MikeSchmidt’s tenure.

“Prior to him coming into office, we ranged somewhere between 12,000 to 20,000 cases a year,” Vasquez told Politico. “Under him, post-Covid, we were under 6,000.”

#Portland shattered its homicide record in 2021 with 92 murders and again the next year with 101 killings, according to OregonLive data, under the #Soros funded prosecutor.
