Mayoral Madness: Vera Katz Regional Round 2

By AARON MESH

16. Victoria Taft, Talk-radio resentment queen 8. Timber Joey, Soccer mascot/lumber baron

12. Mike Rice, Blazers TV color commentator 13. Mohamed Osman Mohamud, Accused holiday-tree bomber

11. Sherri Hiner, From Mattress World! 3. Timothy Hutton, Avenging injustice
