"Free speech" isn't a license to lie, Sam.

This article is silly. Have you seen Chloe Eudaly's misleading Facebook ad series? It starts with the Mercury endorsement pull quote and then misleadingly lists pull quotes from other publications that do NOT endorse here - Willamette Week and the Oregonian. Looks like you wrote this article without looking at what the other candidates are doing, or just don't like the other candidates. Fake drama.

Sam Adams can go spend some time doing REAL WORK before he runs for office again. How work as a custodian for Metro, direct traffic for ODOT, stock shelves at Fred Meyer, something that might remind him how the working class ACTUALLY live. I know he's got this whole childhood narrative of struggle but when is the last time he had to make $25 last him all week? He's been in politics his whole adult life and needs a reality check. Then I'd consider ever voting for him again but, Sam, sometimes serving your community just means doing it quietly and behind the scenes forever and not getting to get your name in the press.
