The 2000 Portland mayoral election was held on May 16, 2000, to elect the mayor of Portland, Oregon. Incumbent mayor Vera Katz was reelected to a third term.
Municipal elections in Oregon are non-partisan. The non-partisan primary was held on May 16, 2000. Because Katz received a majority of the vote in the primary, no runoff election in November was necessary.
Katz defeated Jake Oken-Berg, a 19-year-old student and political unknown who received a surprising 27% of the vote and almost forced a runoff, as well as 15 other candidates, who, combined, received approximately 18% of the vote.
