A few thoughts on housing, homelessness, the need for a new housing bond, and Inner Eastside for All:

A few thoughts about the need for: - A consistent, competitive process to award funding to nonprofits - A re-evaluation of the City / County relationship - An independent audit of the (extremely) over-cost Bull Run Filtration Project - A PUBLIC process to award PUBLIC money to the Moda Center

People expect their local leaders to be innovating and pushing the status quo to help people, ESPECIALLY right now. I spent my morning at TriMet's Board of Director's meeting and at Portland City Hall. Here were some of my takeaways.

We cannot let our most urgent problems cloud our vision for the future. At a Portland City Council candidate forum today, I talked about wanting to make sure we're not making rank-and-file staff bear the brunt of budget cuts, and that we pair a vision for our future with steps on how to get there.

Hear me out... Portland City Council needs a shot clock 🏀⏲️ That, plus a bit on what I mean when I say "collaborative leadership" and my approach to delegating and trusting my team in this clip from my interview with @bikeportland.org. Full interview: bikeportland.org/2026/04/09/p...

Portland City Council needs a better way to break ties... and it needs to come from the legislature, NOT the Mayor. Portlanders voted to affirmatively move away from a government where the Mayor voted on policy, and we should respect that in our tiebreaking rules (which do need reform).

Good morning, Portland 🚲🌸

Let's get rid of the Marquam Bridge and I-5 in inner SE. A few thoughts as you watch this clip: - This isn't a new idea. - We'd recover dozens of blocks of the most valuable developable land in the City. - It will never happen LATER if we don't talk about it and plan for it NOW.
