Elaina Schaffer has been missing for 27 days. She was last seen 10/31. Her mother has contacted local media with no coverage. Please share and keep an eye out in the community.
Did you hear that Multnomah County is going to be giving out tents and tarps again as the cold weather begins? A follower responded to the news in my inbox. She summed it up perfectly. Swipe through to read my thoughts. Let us know in comments if you have an idea for action that brings change.
My name is Angela and I live in Portland’s eastside in Mount Tabor. I feel called to get involved in civic affairs and to know not just what is happening locally, but why our livability is on the decline. I encourage you to learn along with me.
Missing,18 year old Blake. Between midnight and sunrise on the morning of Thurs Oct 31st. Blake’s blue 2009 Toyota Camry was found abandoned on the shoulder of the 205 bridge Thursday afternoon. Did anyone see a person with a slim build, 5’10”, long brown hair, wearing black pants and black hoodie walking, standing, or on the right-hand shoulder on the southbound 205 bridge? No camera footage is available of the area where the car was parked before sunrise. The family is working with Clark County and Multnomah County Police departments. Missing person case number: 24-279181
Political homework for those that have figured out what is missing in this quest is YOU stepping onto the field. Use that righteous, frustrated energy for good!
We took hard losses in the Portland City Council, Multnomah County, Clackamas County, and no new seats in the legislature. It appears @ez4pdx and @lorettasmithpdx are the only common sense candidates that made it through the ranked choice voting of city council. @juliabrimedwards remains perhaps the only voice for accountability and results in Multnomah County, with a hope that @vincejonesdixon joins the hard nosed work needed to clean up our county. Six of the 12 city council were endorsed by the Democratic Socialist of America. While the nation went moderate to red, Oregon appears to have doubled down on the policies that are hurting our livability.
Voter turnout is historically low in several counties in Oregon. While many are speculating why including apathy, ranked choice voting and disillusioned voters, many people are counting on you to vote. Please turn in your ballot today if you haven’t yet.
Last week we reported the Clackamas County elections office had mechanical issue with ballots. The issue has now been resolved. Here is a timely message from Clackamas County Chair Tootie Smith.
You should be asking yourself why nonprofits like APANO, Latino Network & East County Rising getting public grants and favor AND public unions like AFSCME and SEIU and the teacher’s union (OEA and PAT) are setting up PACs to influence our elections. One could say they are using YOUR money to work against you.
Truth is they are all benefiting from government growth andstatus quo. You should be asking yourself why the same non-profits and public unions work in lock step to elect progressive radical candidates in the legislature. And notice they are now investing in keeping the status quo in Portland. You should ask yourself why they are telling you specifically NOT to rank Rene Gonzalez as mayor too.
Proponents of measure 117 for rank choice voting say it’s not complicated, and that is bullshit. Case in point.
if you haven’t yet voted, vote NO for measure 117.
Portland: In my experience, it is tragically common for family members of missing persons in Portland to NOT have their family member added to missing persons. A missing person’s report is essential as it comes up on national databases when a person is found, arrested or hospitalized. Officer Stroh in Multnomah County stated ALEXANDRA CHLOE MAY STRAUS doesn’t meet the needed criteria (not mentally disabled or incapacitated outside of her mental health). The case number is #24-278340
Outside today in Sellwood as families were coming and going. Fentanyl often causes a catatonic stupor once the drug is administered. I pray we get a handle on our illicit drugs distribution in our community and bring light and recovery to those suffering from drug addiction in our community. 🙏🏻
I received the “Portland Voter Guide” yesterday, which is a highly dubious attempt by the worst orgs in the city (Latino Network, APANO, Portland for All, public unions) to convince you to vote for people who will just continue to drive a steak in the heart of Portland if elected. Pay attention to these grifters logos - you will see them supporting candidates that are ruining our livability. Our voter guide is pinned to our profile and my inbox is open for questions.
It is healthy to ask questions and hold government and elected officials accountable. You have a right to know where your tax dollars are going and the results of decisions made by people in office. Join me in my quest for a better, more accountable governing in Portland and Oregon to restore our public safety and livability for everyone. #orpol
Noah Ernst is our top rank for Portland City Council District 1. He gets it. No road diets! @noahernst4portland
A little known fact about me, I love an old fashioned haunt on Halloween. In past years I held an annual haunt at my house on Halloween Night neighborhood kids and adults. We grew to lines outside our door and counted as many as 300 attendees! Maybe next year I will bring the haunt back. Happy 2024 Halloween! #portlandia
Gresham - Paul Drechsler is in a very tight race in house district 50, and I think you should know what trash bills the incumbent Ricki Ruiz voted for before marking your ballot. Here are the details!
VOTE to re-elect Tootie Smith for Clackamas County Chair and encourage others to do the same. Cheers to @tootiesmithfororegon for all she has done not just for Clackamas County, but also for setting an example in the Portland metro for hard work, more results and good leadership.
Last year a new father in our community took this image the day before his first daughter was born. Late October - the NW hills looking north. This is my favorite time of the year. It is bitter sweet too, as my garden will have a few month rest soon. Do you love fall too?
New York Times has spoken with two law-enforcement officials. “Free Gaza” were found at both October 29th events. The October 8th ballot box in Vancouver included “Free Palestine”. Is our local main stream media going to talk about this?
