Local politics as the antidote to national politics

I am really impressed by my choice of city council candidates (district 3). In the upcoming election we can rank up to 6 candidates and it's possible I will do that. It is possible to change the face of politics in Portland if people participate. I'd highly encourage #Portlanders to check out their candidates in person.

There is a greater diversity in choices and a chance to let some different people set policy. Younger people, people who have experienced poverty and homelessness, people who rent housing, people who have not been bought by the local moneyed interests, people who want to try evidence based solutions to problems. It could be a lot of fun and help a lot of people.
