Terrence Hayes wants to represent east Portland on city council (District 1).
Some of you might know him as the guy who wrote that email to supporters titled, "Portland's war on cars." After that happened, I knew I wanted to sit down and chat with Terrence.
I think you'll enjoy our conversation. It touched on his views about bicycling advocacy in Portland, transportation in general, race and policing, his political style, his support of mayoral candidate Rene Gonzalez and increasing the number of Portland Police officers (he's also endorsed by the Portland Police Association) and how he'll balance that with remaining an independent, trusted leader in his community.

WTH did Commissioner Mapps say? Why does Jonathan always have a different coach in the Shed? How's Eva's Spanish class going and what is she doing to prevent insects from destroying her backyard cherry crop? Bleeps and Bloops and what now? What happened to that guy who was protesting BikePortland at Bike Happy Hour this past week?
You'll find the answers to all these questions at more in this episode. 🤣🤣
