Wishing Portland patience & peace as results trickle in. As the 1st Black woman on Council, I’ve experienced hate & am alarmed by racist threats circulating this week. I have dedicated my life to addressing injustice through non-violence & encourage the same for all Oregonians 🙏🏿

It's unfortunate that we have to share a message like this on election day. Please be safe tonight and share with your networks.

I grew up in a union household in Baltimore, one of 10 siblings, & served in the Military as one of the first women on a Navy ship. Today I am 65, remain a renter, rely on TriMet, and have poured my heart & soul into public service on behalf of ALL including the unseen & unheard.

“It’s been years—decades, perhaps—since we can remember a city commissioner accomplishing so much during their first term.” “when it comes to creating successful policy untampered by big business interests, Hardesty is our choice.”

Unsuprising that Tim Boyle - who has donated tens of thousands of dollors to Mr. Rene's Super PAC, to spoiler candiate Betsy Johnson, and to GOP candidates throughout Oregon - is "endorsing" our opponent. I'll fight for Portland's people, not millionares focused on our "brand."

We are incredibly proud to announce the endorsement of Tim Boyle, the President and CEO of Columbia Sportswear. He knows better than nearly anyone how to lead and build a lasting brand, and that our city desperately needs better leadership and an improved brand.
