Looks like Lisa Reynolds is being disingenuous at best.
Why do Democratic Voters keep voting for the same machine politics because it sounds so "progressive"? Turns out, it generally doesn't make the average taxpayer's life any better, but it definitely rewards the various politically correct and connected special interest groups that it has come to represent. Reynolds cannot be trusted. And neither can most of the Democratic State Reps and State Senators from the Portland metro area.
Reynolds is digging a deeper hole for herself. "Drazan played us like a fiddle"??? The political gaming that is Reynolds stinks all the way to the governor's house.
My take? - Kill a Republican sponsored bi-partisan bill so a Democrat can heroically revive it's ashes, regardless of the constituent's circumstances.
I believe my own eyes and ears: Drazan walked our streets and ultimately worked with Stadiumhood to create a bill that would serve all the community, INCLUDING people needing syringe services.
Reynolds on the other hand only saw political party threat. Weak.
Is an Autumn Sharp write in campaign possible for the general election?
Thank you for articulating your take so accurately: "Kill a Republican sponsored bi-partisan bill so a Democrat can heroically revive it's ashes, regardless of the constituent's circumstances." This is exactly what I think happened, and why it infuriated me to the point of challenging her in the primary. Prioritizing self-serving political gains over the safety of our children?!? Thanks to you and to Allan for keeping the truth of this issue in the spotlight!
Drazan has my vote, the Lisa Reynolds and Tina Koteks of the world need to be retired. I’m sure they can go find positions in the grifting non-profits they obviously favor over the tax payers they are supposed to represent.
Leaders like Lisa Reynolds are reason Portland still has a huge homeless/drug problem ..It’s the Jessica Vega Pederson style of government. The give homeless tents and drug addicts pipes solution and it doesnt work.
Lisa Reynolds should be ashamed of herself! She single-handedly killed an excellent bill that was reasonable, and that her own constituents put inestimable thought and effort into. Now, thanks to Reynolds killing the original bill, PPOP has been emboldened and is now doing their needle distribution in the Pearl --- the last thing we need as we try to bring back our neighborhood from chaos. And not only that, Reynolds ostensibly did it to preserve and protect "harm reduction," but harm‑reduction strategies were designed for heroin or prescription opioids; those strategies no longer work in the age of fentanyl, because fentanyl too potent and unpredictable for “safer use” to be realistic! I hope Lisa Reynolds has a worthy opponent in November, because she needs to be voted OUT of office --- she has totally read the room wrong, she has ignored her constituents' needs, and she tries to throw others under the bus - all very dishonorable.
Unfortunately she does not have a worthy opponent. This is a massive failure of the Democratic machine and unions running our elections, because now we have no choice but to vote for her in November. I likely would have garnered a higher number of votes running as a Republican, but still wouldn't have won even if I went straight to the November ballot on a Republican ticket, so now we have no choice again. But, seriously, we cannot vote for John Chee. Absolutely cannot. Please do not vote for this person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccb0lM2dyVE

And I'm a life-long Democratic voter.
