Resident asks commissioners to address circulation of a commissioner's family information during campaign season

During Citizens to be Heard, Brad Store of Portland (Precinct 2) told commissioners he had been researching online material related to the election and said he found sustained attention on "one sitting commissioner," which he described as moving from oversight into personal targeting. He asked the court two questions: what it would do to prove a visiting senator wrong about local leadership, and how the commissioners would respond if a colleague forwarded a spouse's personal information.

"What I observed was a constant and consistent focus on one sitting commissioner," Store said. "As men, as Christian men, as leaders of the community, how would you feel if your wife's public information was forwarded by a member sitting next to you up there? That's just a question, right? I'm not pointing accusations, I'm just asking the question, right?"

Store characterized his remarks as questions rather than direct accusations and urged the court to show unity and responsibility. The judge thanked him; no formal action, investigation, or staff direction was recorded on the record in response to the comment.

The court did not open a separate discussion or take a vote on the matter during the meeting. Commissioners expressed no direct rebuttal in the public record and moved on to scheduled agenda items.
