Loretta Smith vs. Dan Ryan for Portland City Council Position 2 - August 11th Special Election

HFO Partner Greg Frick conducted an interview with Portland City Council candidate Loretta Smith. Smith is running for council position 2 against Dan Ryan. Smith first discusses what she called a failure of leadership regarding Portland's downtown protests, before getting into positions on housing policies. Smith is endorsed by the Northwest Oregon Labor Council, the Oregon Nurses Association, The Skanner newspaper, and Rev. Jesse Jackson. 

Unfortunately, Dan Ryan's campaign did not respond to multiple requests for a similar interview. Ryan is endorsed by Willamette Week and The Oregonian. Willamette Week's interview with Ryan can be found below.
