Portland’s New DA Targets Gun Crime and Drug Abuse

Portland’s newly appointed District Attorney Nathan Vasquez pledges to prioritize tackling rising gun violence and drug abuse in an effort to reverse alarming crime trends in the city. Homicides reached a record high of 101 in 2022, and drug overdose deaths surged to more than 1,800 in 2023—an increase from just 696 in 2020—prompting calls for immediate action from local leadership.

Vasquez’s commitment comes on the heels of Oregon’s repeal of Measure 110, which had decriminalized hard drug use. In an interview, Vasquez noted the impact of this law on crime rates and expressed determination to serve victims and enhance public safety. With a clear three-pronged approach focusing on crime, substance abuse, and gun violence, residents hope his leadership will lead to lasting change in Portland, a city grappling with decades-high crime figures.
