*** Rep. Hernandez is currently under investigation for serious allegations of sexual and verbal harassment from at least seven people at the state legislature. Several state lawmakers, including Speaker of the House Tina Kotek, have called for Hernandez’s resignation. Hernandez was also accused of domestic violence earlier this year. Hernandez, who was elected to represent East Portland’s District 47 in 2016, is running unopposed in the Democratic primary. But, due to these recent allegations, we’re not supporting his re-election.
Tobias Read has done an awful job as Treasurer. Poor performance, shady practices. Surprised he got the Merc’s endorsement.
Mercury folks, Suzanne Bonamici has some great qualities and does make a great contender. But we have the data on where America is headed: increasing unemployment from increasing job automation (covid-19 has grossly accelerated that) and an increasingly dysfunctional democracy from archaically racist policies (like electoral college), lobbyist and large single-donor contributors, amongst a truck-load of other dysfunctions. That data exists to help us do the MATH on numerous ways to correct that. Suzanne Bonamici doesn’t address those issues. How is she going to get any legislation on her issues page (https://bonamici.house.gov/issues) passed the senate if our democracy is dysfunctional as it is today and continues to worsen? Continuing to build upon an unbalanced economic and political structure will eventually have a tipping point. So how close to the tipping point are you comfortable with? How close until you feel a Humanity-Center Capitalism candidate is what we need? Thank you.
