“I’m running for Multnomah County Commissioner because I know the future is at stake. We have to defend Preschool for All, defend the environment while we take protective steps to adapt to our new climate reality, and build the systems of collaborative government across city, county, and state that it’s going to take to tackle the problems of our lifetimes. And we’re going to do it, as everything, together.”
