As I reported earlier this week, transportation and neighborhood activist Chris Smith has officially announced his candidacy for Portland City Council.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I plan to cover the upcoming political maneuvering as closely as possible. Not only do I think city politics will play a major role in the future of bicycles and transportation in Portland, but, as we learned back in April, the bike community must stay engaged with the plays and players in City Hall.
On that note, below is my interview with Chris Smith. I hope it gives you a better sense of who he is, what he stands for, and why I think it’s important for us all to pay close attention to the upcoming shifts in Portland’s political landscape.
