Bruce Broussard: Multnomah County Board of Commissioners District 2 candidate

Bruce Broussard, a candidate for Multnomah County Board of Commissioners District 2, lays out a long profile blending education in electronics and mathematics with military service and decades in media and business. He says he graduated from Wheatley High School, studied at Texas Southern University and Portland State University, and attended Northrup Aeronautical Technology Institute, the U.S. Marine Corps Electronics School, and Los Angeles City College. In his campaign priorities, Broussard emphasizes implementing policies to address homelessness, which he says has worsened over the last decade, and links public safety to law enforcement support. He also calls for adult education, ROTC and CTE programs, along with staffing, budgeting, and transparency in spending. He cites service as a Veterans of Foreign Wars officer, NAACP involvement, and development experience, including acting as developer of a 38-unit senior housing complex for affordable subsidized housing.
