In March 2004, Naito, along with three other Multnomah county commissioners, approved plans to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Multnomah County; they issued over 3,000 licenses before the move was blocked by a judge the next month.[3][4][5][6]

Naito formed Hooley & Naito, a strategic planning and legislative advocacy firm, with former Congresswoman Darlene Hooley after leaving office.[7]
