two observations: 1. there are clearly two voting blocs. 2. the progressives compromise more often than the mods / conservatives, as evidenced by the darker gradient shading in the upper right corner quadrant

Start with Mitch's thread. The Oregonian ed board reduced Tiffany to the equivalent of a background player with no lines or name. Our first unanimous vote on City Council was electing her our first VP. That unity was mirrored back in the work she took on in 2025 - bringing Council together.

GOP Group Spends Thousands to Help Susan Collins—in Wrong Portland
The people of Portland, Oregon, were probably very confused about why they were being flooded with information about the Maine Senate race.

Remember when Tiffany was the lead fundraiser during the last election and didn’t even get an interview? I do. She made it anyway and I’m excited to serve a 4 year term with her 🩷💙

there was also basically no coverage of: - first ever oversight hearing re: admin not disclosing housing funds to council - failure to substantiate any of the claims to economic benefits for moda center deal. - failure to dig into project mt hood in a substantive way for example

you could write a dissertation on the erasure of the accomplishments of the first Asian American mother to be elected to city council. pick a scholarly discipline.

when you place the work of the city and body itself above your own ambition so often there’s always the risk that your achievements will be minimized. we should all be grateful she has taken that risk, because our city is better for it.

and her list of accomplishments is extensive, not only among important amendments to the budget and pieces of legislation, but also legislation she’s led from her office. she was also the council vp during the fucking DHS occupation and held us all together during that period.

i never expected the O to endorsement me, and I’m not surprised they only discussed the headlines they’ve chosen to make about me. but, i’m pissed about how they’ve reduced Tiffany’s contributions. she’s done more than anyone in our races to build a functioning council.

I helped make a student organized Mitch Green canvass happen today. I am so proud of the people younger than me getting involved. I’m proud of the work we’re doing together. I’m proud of myself for doing this when a year ago I thought this kind of life was a far off dream for me.

a point i didn’t get a chance to make at the city club forum tonight was that a major factor in why development is slow is the interest rate environment. not the only thing that matters but a major factor. important to get our zoning and code updates in place now so we are ready to go when rates ⬇️

that’s not what i took from that article. i found that while there are theoretical safety benefits when people switch from driving their own cars to riding AVs, they aren’t going to do that and so what you get instead is more vehicle miles traveled and few demonstrated system level safety benefits
