If they need to make appeals to the Portland voters then there’s no chance in hell the Democrat will win. Portland is the “urban” liberal center.
And yes it has a lot of votes (60,000 oh wow), so it has a big influence on what happens with the state’s politics, but that probably isn’t what you want to be bringing to mind when you’re trying to oust this woman whose base of support is going to come from the the northern counties.
