The 2008 Portland City Commission elections were held on May 20, 2008, and November 4, 2008, to elect three positions on the Portland, Oregon City Council.[1]
Two positions, 1 and 4, held regularly scheduled elections while position 2 held a special election to fill the remainder of Erik Sten's term after his retirement on April 4.
Lawyer and member of the prominent Fish family political dynasty Nick Fish and incumbent Randy Leonard won positions 2 and 4 respectively outright by receiving over 50% of the vote. Planning commission member Amanda Fritz did not receive over 50% and proceeded to a runoff election against non-profit executive Charles Lewis for position 1.
