I've had the opportunity to work with Bud Clark, Vera Katz and Tom Potter over the last twenty years. Tom has been the most open mayor I've worked with. On issues of homelessness, he has been a problem solver working with advocates and business leaders to develop solutions that benefit the entire community. And unlike with Mayor Katz, you could disagree with Mayor Potter and not be thrown into the doghouse. Tom Potter is committed to the progressive values and principles that make Portland a great community. I'll miss having him in City Hall.
