I talked with Senators @RonWyden and @SenJeffMerkley . They’re pushing hard for a federal economic stabilization and stimulus package to respond to the #COVID19 pandemic. As our champions in DC, I’m grateful for their leadership during these unprecedented times.

There is no excuse for the criminal destruction to 24 businesses along NE Sandy Boulevard. The Mexican Consulate and Multnomah County Courthouse were also targeted by violent groups. None of this should sit well with any thinking Portlander.

The President’s behavior and comments last night are a stark reminder that our community must stand together against racism and hate.

Having a safe place to use the restroom is a human right. The new signs on the 120 portable toilets and handwashing stations placed around the city remind everyone to be empathetic and kind to those who need these facilities.

The City of Portland has offered police and fire resources to the Governor to help the state respond to the devastating fires.

My heart goes out to the loved ones of the 63 Oregonians and 45 Multnomah County residents who lost their lives as a result of the recent heat wave. I want to thank the first responders and medical workers who worked tirelessly through the heat to save as many lives as possible.
