Clackamas County Leaders & Region-Wide Colleagues Stand United In Condemnation of County Commissioner Mark Shull and His Social Media Posts. Together as elected leaders we represent the region and the people of the Portland metropolitan area, and we stand united in utter horror over the comments written, shared, and endorsed by Clackamas County Commissioner Mark Shull on social media. His hateful, inflammatory rhetoric cast dangerous bigotry and intolerance on many historically marginalized groups, including Muslims, immigrants, and transgender people. The volume and breadth of the comments demonstrate a severe disconnect with the shared values of Clackamas County, and we have lost any trust in his ability to serve our shared constituents of the county equitably and justly. We call on Commissioner Shull to resign immediately. To those targeted by Commissioner Shull, we stand with you and take seriously our job to provide equitable representation, protection and service to every member of our communities. We uphold our commitment to protect all of the people we represent and to speak out against racism, hate, bigotry and other forms of intolerance that have no place in our society. As elected leaders we know our words matter and carry force. The signatories to this letter represent a wide continuum of perspectives and beliefs, and we respect that diverse ideas generate the sound policy that in turn moves our communities forward. What is not open for debate is the worth of all people regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender identity, or otherwise. We cannot work with a County Commissioner who has clearly demonstrated a belief quite to the contrary and that puts our residents and communities at risk. Senator Kate Lieber, SD 14, Beaverton Rep.
