It’s a snow day in Portland, and that can only mean one thing...

It’s the perfect texture for running!

Undefeated no longer! The Indians storm into the Fish City and stun Astoria to open up Cowapa League play. Colton Sprenger canned a triple with nine seconds left, putting Scappoose ahead for good. SHS led nearly all evening in what is a huge win for @robbybackus in his first year at the helm.

@AndrewYang @senbetsyjohnson But Betsy Johnson doesn't align with your positions at all -- or with those of most Oregonians. She opposed all gun safety measures. She opposed measures to address climate change. She opposed raising the minimum wage. Why would Oregonians back such a candidate?

When somebody asks what I did during the pandemic, I tell them I actually decided to stay with my parents for about 6 months during the middle of it.

Completely failing to acknowledge I also lived with my parents for the 23 years prior to the pandemic too.

Now I can finally cross off “run for senate” from the to-do list.

Unfortunately, I was not chosen to advance, but I’m optimistic and excited about the future. This is only the beginning!

My family during Christmas gatherings: So what are your plans for next year?

Me: Well, I’m actually hoping to become a senator.

For those of you curious about the process, this article does a great job explaining how a candidate will be chosen as a replacement and also why I'm seeking this nomination. https://t.co/pNg8dKx9id

@EuhusBeaver @bluedawgpromo Thanks for being interested! I’m currently working on a blog/website that explains my stance on certain issues and plans to solve them.

And the reference to tribalism was meant to highlight the need for unity, compassion, and in some cases, compromise.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I've decided to officially seek the nomination to serve as State Senator for District 16.

It's time for me to move beyond the textbooks, theories, and case studies, and actually apply my knowledge and energy towards making a tangible difference in the real world.
