One of Portland's best-known litigators is thinking about jumping into electoral politics.
Divorce lawyer Jody Stahancyk, 67, is mulling a challenge against two-term incumbent City Commissioner Amanda Fritz.
Stahancyk says she's dismayed by what she sees as a pervasive lack of transparency at City Hall and a City Council that doesn't understand the concerns of Portlanders.
Stahancyk says she told Fritz in a recent telephone conversation that she's considering entering the race. (An earlier version of this post said the two spoke in person but the conversation was on the phone).
"I've thought a lot about it and I'm continuing to think about it," Stahancyk says. "It would be a lot of fun."
