Honestly, that's not a bad idea. I'd like to explore that topic, if you don't mind.
Portland hasn't had a good mayor since Vera left office in 2004. OK, technically, it was January 2005. Since then, we've had a string of 1 term mayors... and Ted.
For a long time, I've been thinking that the only way we'll get a decent mayor again is if 'somebody' (or some influential group) steps up to recruit the right candidate, because it sure seems like nobody who could actually do the job wants the job.
So... here's my question: If you could convince anyone you want to run for mayor next year, who would it be?
Who is your dream candidate for Portland Mayor in 2024?
