Did you know? Max Brumm is no longer the only Max running for mayor. Or the only community college student under 25 whose last name starts with the letter “B.”
Meet 22-year-old Max Max Bauske!
While his slogan is a little snarky, it looks like Bauske is serious about his campaign. Here’s his take on education:
As a graduate of Portland Public Schools and a student at Portland Community College, I know the value of a good, affordable public education. I’ll work to make Portland schools the best in the nation, and prevent efforts by for-profit entities and charter schools to steal public education dollars.
He also touches on TriMet ticket transfers, an issue that was recently spotlighted at the TriMet board meeting.
“A strong, affordable public transit system is key to livability and economic prosperity. I’ll work to make Tri-Met fares more affordable, and extend the length of transfers.”
Looks like young Max Brumm is up for some interesting competition. May the best Max win. Or tie. Or cage fight. Or something equally adorable.
SHEMAXIGANS! Max Brumm is following me on Twitter (and from my bus to my house, or that may just be the paranoia talking), so he has any votes I’ll be handing out to Maxes anytime soon.
Whose mom is running this max’s campaign?
Somebody better clue him in that Portland’s mayor has no control over the independent Portland School District #1J (aka PPS) or the independent Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District (aka TriMet).
“Or the other community college student under 25 whose last name starts with the letter “B”.”
What does this mean? Should “other” be replaced with “only” to match the first sentence? Or is there some other word missing here?
Also, periods go inside of quatation marks.
Are you kidding me? He’s totally bogarting World-Famous Original Max’s buzz.
I demand that the Mercury hold a debate (or duel) between both Maxes to see who really is the Maxiest!
This Max is cuter.
Well I do like boys in glasses, but I think the original Max is cuter. This one you could take someplace fun and nerdy though like a comic book movie or a Powell’s reading.
Ginger Max!
All the Mayor has to do is talk to Tri-MET and quietly say “play ball with me or I will screw your bond rating.”
Hopefully this Max’s mommy can spell.
OK, now both Maxes are following me. That means I’ll have to find out where they stand on the issues, dammit.
Cute!
