Lueb of Tigard and Wenzl of Forest Grove round out a dead split between women and men as city heads in Washington County. It appears the days are gone of gender inequality in elected positions in Washington County. Across the 12 incorporated cities in Washington County, half of the mayors will be women come early 2023. With the apparent election of new mayors Heidi Lueb in Tigard and Malynda Wenzl in Forest Grove on Tuesday, Nov. 8, the top seats in those cities will be women-run, likely for the first time.
