I like good ole’ fashion mud slinging races – if she truly thinks she is a better candidate than our current mayor – let’s get real.

What is it Loren that makes you such a great choice – and what is it about Dave that precludes him from continuing in the role?

Be honest – no glowing recommendations of what a great job Dave has done and how you can add whip cream to his current policies!

Sadly I’m in the camp that feels she is cut from the same cloth as Bieter – thus not a viable alternative.

“Too many folks are feeling priced out, talked over, left out or forgotten, and that should worry us all,” said McLean in a news release.
I have had a call into Loren McLean since January 2018.Tried to make contact over the phone through her office and the mayors office. SHE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL!
She comes across to me as DAVE BIETER IN A DRESS!

Well yeah. Maybe there is still a candidate with a support system.

How about Pfleger – the insurance guy who had petitions in his office?

Unless he’s too right. But he’s got time and money.

Pfleger Dave out. 🙂

First thing…..coffee shops “downtown” are not The People. They are the Left SJW types that shape the social media landscape, using censorship to drive conservative and independent voices out of the debate. That should be the first Red Flag.

The only use of her candidacy here is to draw Lefty votes from Bieter and allow a GOOD candidate to run and possibly beat him. Otherwise, this is a facsimile candidate for our path to a Portlandish future.

Dang, I was hoping for a Hispanic transgender lesbian so that we could get on the national news.

Mr. Guardian,
was she the one caught texting or doing facebook during a council meeting a few months ago???…. not that there is any thing wrong with that….

EDITOR NOTE–Councilor Woodings got busted testing about bikes during a meeting.

As one of my favorite groups sang in “we won’t be fooled again”….

She doesn’t like his tactics either.

So having been on the Council for EIGHT years, did she 1. never interact with the staff in the building in which she works albeit part time and 2. did she not ever worry about transparency until lately?

Well, she would be different from Bieter although just shorter and female. Has she ever not voted the way he wanted or spent a dime differently than he?

I’m waiting for a real alternative.

These two nearly kiss each other with mutually supportive schmoozing. So the real intent is to eliminate any small amount of oxygen Bieter has not used up already. She has no intention of wining. She is the blocker to prevent any true challenger from making it to the front line. The intent is also to give her a leg up when Bieter quits next term. She is the chosen one.
