Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz has easily secured another term.
Early returns show Fritz leading with 69 percent of the vote for the Position 1 seat.
Her closest competitor, Ann Sanderson, had 10 percent of the vote.
In 2012, Fritz said she would not seek re-election for the seat. But she changed her mind two years later when her husband died in a car accident while commuting to his job at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem.

Fritz, a retired psychiatric nurse, says she’d like her new term to bring changes to campaign elections financing in Portland. She first won a city council seat using Portland’s brief-lived public campaign financing system.
Among her accomplishments on the city council, Fritz pushed through a new mandatory sick leave policy for Portland workers and got more money for parks in East Portland.
