They argued that the office of Portland Mayor is non-partisan. They argued that I didn't have a cite that he was a registered Democrat. They argued that it wasn't relevant to the first paragraph.
I found biographical information on Sam Adams' Portland City Council website that showed that he'd been working for Democratic concerns for 20 years. I put an additional detail into his "early life and career" section.
I didn't do it to be political. I did it because it's factual information and should be in the article. And, really, it should be at the top of the page. The Wiki page for the mayor that he'd worked for previously, opens with "Vera Katz is a German born
Democratic politician in the U.S. state of
Oregon".
