    Are you kidding me? Rubio saying tents before an ice storm is “life saving”. As a mountaineer, I can tell you it’s reckless and a recipe for frostbite. The county closing indoor emergency shelters during the last ice storm was the cruelest act ever.

    I like how Rubio says, “nobody is more sorry, or embarrassed than I am“. Actually, nobody is sorry or embarrassed but you. Nobody is sharing that with you.

    My ranking is Keith, Mingus, Carmen, Rene, and Liv; however, I believe all are excellent individuals who could contribute in other governmental roles. I feel Rene and Carmen are not respected enough by their peers to be effective leaders in this new system.
    We need someone likable and with an unblemished record, someone who is a visionary, pragmatic, a strong negotiator, a listener, a collaborator, an effective communicator, and a skilled engineer. Keith stands out as the most qualified in these respects.
    Portland’s history of electing ineffectual, Portlandia-style government stretches back to Vera Katz. In this new form of government, accomplishing anything will be harder than ever-after all, 'A camel is a horse designed by a committee.' I believe Keith, and to a lesser extent Mingus, are the only ones with the temperament and skill to succeed.

Please do so. The local leaders in Portland have wasted our money. They all need to go, but I don’t want to vote for some non inclusive candidate. The ballot has a ton listed. Research them.

    For those of you that don’t live near a safe rest Village. Let me enlighten you, the areas around them are infested with drugs and crime. There’s active drug selling and use all outside of them and around them. Homeless people, drug addicts, needles and garbage. It’s an absolute disaster and has destroyed some of our East Portland neighborhoods, not helped. Regarding housing vouchers I can’t speak to all recipients, but I have two housing voucher recipients on my Block and they have had their rent paid for almost one year now both parties have not gotten a job, or gotten clean. They are home all day up all night making noise and keeping the neighbors up and selling drugs out of their “home”. Presumably when the voucher ends, they will be back on the street. People need to be held accountable and have goals, not just be given free housing with zero expectations.

    This was refreshing and gives me some hope for the future of Portland, with the exception of business-as-usual Rubio. Even the way-outsider candidate Liv Osthus was articulate and well-reasoned. In a simpler time, like 10 years ago, when Portland still had the semblance of social principles like order, public safety, and objective truth as a given, she would have made a pretty colorful, cool Portlandia-style mayor. But "Keep Portland Weird" is no longer cool when homeless zombie addicts rule the streets everywhere.

    Well, I kept this Debate on my DVR, because i'm going to have to watch it again b4 i make my final rankings. There is, however, 1 Candidate i find so rank, i'm not wasting my Ink ... & that's ReneG. He spent his ENTIRE Campaign in 22, trying to pound her into the ground, over her inability to solve the Homeless 'problem.' Think what you will, about JoAnn Hardesty, but that was NOT even under her purview, she was overseer of the FIRE DEPARTMENT, under which she developed the PSR, yet not one of them up there could even manage to give her ANY credit therefore & now even Rene is 'claiming' to support it after spending endless months trying to sabotage it! And oh-btw, 2 years later, just look at how much 'BETTER' - the rest of the Council has done with this humanity disaster? - rhetorical...
    Oh, & then there's the $6400 of OUR tax payer $$$$ that RG spent to scrub his Wikipedia profile. And it was NOT for any of the BOGUS reasons he tried to sell us on, oh no, it was because of the revelations of his associations with ORGs like PATRIOT PRAYER & the PROUD BOYS! At one point, thanking a member of the PP. Look, the connections 'may' have been very minimal, but if so, why did he still feel the need to spend OUR $$$$ having that removed?! And of course, there's that special rental deal he got for his Campaign Office AND, the lie about being "assaulted" by an Indigent Woman on the Max, whom, while she may have offered him some rather harsh verbal criticisms, NEVER even laid a finger on him! I remember a couple of Posters started calling him a "snowflake." I was amused, but i think he more resembles a STORM, a very bad one?
    Please Portland, don't elect a person who may well be a RINO, just biding his time b4 his true colors become very apparent! Can't we do better than ...

    The former stripper and the trucking magnate are unqualified to be mayor. That leaves three city councilors. Rubio's refusal to take personal responsibility for numerous driving and parking violations shows a lack of necessary maturity to become mayor. Really don't much about Mingus Mapps, I like him as a second choice. Rene Gonzalez is the best hope this city has to get back on track, we've been a national laughingstock long enough. Far-left clowns who want Portland to stay weird and dysfunctional can move to Seattle, you'll have plenty of company up there.

    Gonzalez is the clear choice here, with Mingus as a second - The others, particularly Rubio is going to kowtow to all the vested interests that brought this city to it's knees - We need to put this in the review mirror. Hardesty brought in a destructive culture to city hall over her time there and relied on Rubio to push through her ideologies that led to where we've now found ourselves. I'm sure she is a nice person, but Portland has done nice and it's lead to a city that is the very opposite. Go Rene!!

      Blaming RCV shows you clearly know nothing about it. RCV is the only way to fix our elections. You still only get ONE vote so put who you want at the top. In each round last place is eliminated so if your candidate gets eliminated you get your second vote. If your second gets eliminated you get your 3rd...Rounds continue until someone has a true majority - 50% plus one vote. If someone does reach a majority in the first round or any following there are no further rounds. There is no need to put any more than 1 candidate but if you do you have a greater chance of having your voice heard. Do some research before making ignorant comments.
