The world's attention is increasingly focused on climate change. It threatens our economy, our environment and ultimately our families' health and livelihoods. For coastal states like Oregon, the stakes are even higher.

The police should be focused on policing criminal activity, and that's sort of the beginning, the middle and the end of it for me.

Imagine a safe city with all the affordable housing we need, a city that uses its resources to help lift the marginalized up and into stability. This is the Portland I imagine. This is the Portland I dream about every single day.

I have a beautiful desk. I rarely sit behind it. That's not where my job is. My job is in the community.

We need new technology to fight climate change and that will come from the private sector.

I hear so many people talking about what's wrong, whether it's climate change or whatever, but so few say, 'Well, look, we've got this problem, so let's find the solution. Let's find a scientist, let's find politicians who are prepared to shape the future, or try and keep up with it.'

I hope to see an integrated solution created to deal with both the local pollution problem and the global climate change problem.
