PORTLAND- In Portland’s Director Park on Friday morning, media mogul Steve Forbes announced his support for Senatorial candidate Jim Huffman.

Huffman, running as the Republican candidate against incumbent Ron Wyden, welcomed support from Forbes, calling it a “boost” to the campaign.

Huffman’s wife Leslie was formerly employed as an editor at Forbes magazine, which Huffman said likely helped him in getting the endorsement.

Forbes, however, stated that Huffman is an ideal candidate, being a citizen who came out of the woodwork due to concern for the country.

A small group of protesters dressed in cocktail dresses and three-piece suits cheered on the announcement, saying Huffman will help to save jobs for billionaires if put into office.
