I strongly support Joey Brunelle in his race against 21-year at-large City Councilor Nick Mavodones.
Joey possesses the intelligence, compassion and new ideas needed to represent all of Portland’s communities. Inspired by the people-over-corporations campaign of Bernie Sanders, Joey has made the commitment to enter local politics, offering a new approach and fresh energy.
In contrast, Nick Mavodones is asking us to vote for him for a rather absurd eighth time. No one earns lifetime tenure on the Portland City Council. But when a national Realtors group works “in consultation” with its local counterpart to support a 21-year incumbent financially, as the Press Herald recently reported, his seat begins to look very much like a corporate-funded endowed chair.
All of the seats on the Portland City Council belong to the people. On Nov. 6, let’s vote for Joey Brunelle, for all of us.
