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.

Not with THAT attitude!! If Thomas Lauderdale wants to become a neighborhood association, who am I to tell them no?

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.

If you didn’t know any better, you might think downtown’s City Council district is down to four candidates vying for three seats. “Final four square off,” reads a headline announcing a downtown candid...

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

No matter who you are, at some point you need to have an opinion on stuff you care about and be willing to be critiqued for it. This goes quadruple for leaders and octuple for those in or seeking elected office. It's a baseline requirement of effective leadership.

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.

I know there is a way to legally emulate Xbox games, but alas, I got rid of my OG Xbox long ago and cannot get the bios from it! I am right on the edge of getting a 360 just to play this stupid game... it was so fun

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 🥴🥴🥴

I highly recommend reading Jamey’s responses to our questionnaire, which are linked on our endorsement webpage: portlandneighborswelcome.org/2026-portlan... If there was a word more than “expert” I would use it here

If there was a word better than "honored" to express how I feel about earning earn Portland Neighbors Welcome's endorsement, I would use it here. They're fighting for a Portland that my kids (and all of us!) can actually afford to live in. I am honored to be in that fight with them.

Clarification that Flying Fish is not using the street but a former parking lot, but their story has been shared by other small businesses, including a street closure in my neighborhood on Division that was reversed after years, hurting the nearby businesses.

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.

I adore Senator Merkley, and I agree. I remember when Novick and Merkley were battling each other in the Senate primary and Novick was the more progressive of the two. Amazing to see how (my perception of) that has changed, even as Merkley has held FEDERAL office. Merkley changes with the times.
