So he must live in my city of Portland OR now.

Geez, that was so hard to read

I voted for JoAnn Hardesty because we haven't had.a Black person on the City Council since 1994. (She's the first Black woman on there ever.) I'm white but I'm woke haha. Ok, not really

And a petty reason I voted for JoAnn is because I used to wait on her all the time when she brought in her dry-cleaning in the '80's. She was an activist way back then. I liked her.

I think she ran on more police accountability . That's the impression I got. We have a Black woman for Police Chief who's from Oakland and I have the idea she's all about the Thin Blue Line.

Sorry to ramble about minor stuff in relation to his story.
