Enemies of glory
The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Look, I’ll tell you one thing for sure: Portland’s renaissance will absolutely never come from alienating young people who want to start families in favor of wealthy business interests. It just won’t.

Portlanders voted overwhelmingly for universal preschool for families in our county.
Our state legislature is trying to kill it.

An amendment to a placeholder Senate Bill in the Oregon legislature, posted late Monday night, seeks to phase out Multnomah County’s Preschool for All program by June 2027.

Our worst fears were true. They want to kill Preschool for All, and would rather not deal with the inconvenience of public opinion. No public hearing. This would eliminate the PFA tax by July 2027 and force PFA to meet DELC standards (which are lower than PFA standards - not full day or full week).

Safe streets and great transit are the basis of a functioning transportation system. I believe Oregon can make that happen this year, but only if you get activated in the next two weeks.
