Here in Portland, Oregon, besides being the greenest city in the nation, we have a very active local political scene, and my friend (and hopefully soon your friend) Karol Collymore is running for City Council, a position in which she would be able to do a lot of good.
She has been assisting and working with City Council person Jeff Cogen, and wants to continue the good work she did with him serving the people of North/Northeast Portland; a really diverse, artistic, and constantly changing part of town.
I have never in my life been so closely interested in local politics! Karol's infectious enthusiasm, big-heartedness, and authentic concern for people, have really drawn me in.
Her focus is work around childhood obesity, Portland's Corrections Health and Hospitals to ensure that people who are arrested and exhibit mental health issues are protected and treated correctly and equitably. And to continue the sustainabilty work and the domestic violence work she and Jeff Cogen started over the last 3 years.
