I'm not going to profess to be best friends with Mitch, but what I do know about the man leads me to believe he would have objected to those having qualified for the Small Donor Elections program being excluded whether he agreed with them on policy or not.

The Pearl District has abandoned its downtown Portland City Council candidate forum because it may run afoul of local, state, and federal laws, as well as the Pearl District’s own bylaws.

Just so I have this right: the NW Examiner has decided to host a forum, excluded all the progressive challengers, and the DNA decided not to participate bc of that exclusion?

The leadership of the moment requires taking any and all action. That’s why me and @mitchgreen.bsky.social brought a policy to tax 400 mega corporations, give tax relief to 18,000 small businesses, and bring in $72 million in revenue to save city services like Parks, Fire, school lunches, PSR, etc

If you're a political candidate and you can't answer a yes/no question (unless it's BLAZINGLY out of context or unfair), you should be disqualified right then and there. Shit or get off the pot. You can explain yourself in any number of other ways, but don't try to outsmart the room. Weird look.

Hearing Mayor Wilson go on TV and say (paraphrased) that Portland should not be innovative or try new things is about the least leader-like thing I could imagine a Mayor saying about their city. Come on, man.

Councilor Clark saying progressives "don’t know what it means to compromise" when we saw literal HOURS of debate over compromises made by progressives before and during budget discussions that the moderates whole cloth rejected because they didn't want to give an inch 🥴🥴🥴

During COVID we got a glimpse of the economic and community benefits of taking back our streets from cars and car storage. Portland then allowed those benefits to wither and die. We need leaders like Councilor Green who know our streets are for the public and small businesses; not just cars.

The Councilors who desperately want to abdicate their legislative power to the Mayor in a system explicitly designed to give the Mayor more power in other ways - then not ask for more legislative power in return - ought to be made fun of.

"...she might later allocate pubic finance dollars" is a strange way to say "administer the program to the strict and accurate letter and intent of City Code and Charter. It's not subjective. Also, you don't stop being a constituent when you become a public servant. Your time is your time.

Introducing the Fair Share Tax, Portland’s small businesses shouldn’t shoulder the burden while corporations reward CEOs hundreds of times more than their workers and enjoy generous tax breaks. Today, @councilorgreen.bsky.social and I will introduce the Fair Share Tax plan to change that.

Since taking office, Councilor Angelita Morillo @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social has turned our priorities into law. She championed the resolution to speed up and prioritize implementation of Inner Eastside for All, our top policy priority and shepherded it to a unanimous vote on council.

At least two people have filed complaints against Day with the Secretary of State’s office in the past week. Both alleged that Day used his position as a public employee to “promote or oppose” a person’s election campaign, in violation of a state law.

The Oregonian's editorial board needs to be completely replaced. All of them. Find journalists who follow journalistic ethics and codes of conduct. Having Oregon's paper of record put hate group agitators on equal moral footing with community members protecting our trans siblings is unacceptable.

Note that I am not infallible and I could be wrong, but I went through like 7 elections' worth of voter data for D3 as part of my own campaign and compared it to other Portland districts. D3 is more of a three progressive district than a one progressive district... by a lot.

"Whether or not you agree with Green and his tweets, you should be alarmed by the defensive response they generated... the rush to defend the police from critical tweets represents a broader culture of silence surrounding the bureau’s actions, and an unwillingness to truly hash out disagreements."
