10. They Should Be So Lucky!

They should be so lucky to have Ted Wheeler as mayor. He was on the country commission, he was a great state treasurer. He is a great mayor who has kept a steady ship in troubled waters.
Portland has had a rocky time and this is no time to change leaders. His family has been here for generations and he knows this city inside and out. The city council passed laws to fulfill the wishes of BLM and our state legislature had a special session to pass laws for BLM. Yes, maybe he could have cut the police budget more. I am a progressive and very much a leftist and I don’t get what more these people want. Ted Wheeler is very very Portland and we need him to be mayor for four more years!!!!!!

From what I have seen Wheeler has been totally ineffective Steelrolled Aug 2020 #16
It is mystifying to me and many other Portland residents to see Wheeler praised nationally. swag Aug 2020 #18
The governor is showing no confidence in Wheeler, and is not being subtle about it. Steelrolled Aug 2020 #23
