Goldschmidt, Neil E. (Neil Edward), 1940-
Neil Edward Goldschmidt (born June 16, 1940) is an American businessman and politician from the state of Oregon. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as Mayor of Portland, Oregon from 1973 to 1979, as U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 1979 to 1981, and as Governor of Oregon from 1987 to 1991. Once considered the most influential and powerful figure in Oregon's politics, his career and legacy were severely damaged by revelations that he had raped a young teenage girl in 1973, during his first term as mayor of Portland.
Born in Eugene, Oregon, he graduated from the University of Oregon in 1963. The following year, Goldschmidt moved to Washington, D.C. to serve as an intern for Oregon Senator Maurine Neubeger. While there, he was recruited by New York Congressman Allard K. Lowenstein to do voter registration in Mississippi's 1964 Freedom Summer civil rights campaign. He earned a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967. From 1967 to 1970, he worked as a legal aid lawyer in Portland, Oregon.
