Shownotes
Welcome to Ballot Banter! A new series where we talk about each city council district (and the Mayor's race) in depth with me, your BikePortland Podcast host Jonathan Maus, and a special guest.
For District 3, I welcomed none other than author, CEO, bike planner, and community leader Mia Birk into the Shed. Mia put Portland on the map as a cycling city with her work at the City of Portland in the 1990s, then went on to found Alta Planning, Alta Bike Share and now works as coach and consultant for founders. Mia has lived in D3 for over 30 years.
Mia is also part of 12 For PDX, a group of advocates who vetted city council candidates and produced a voters guide and made endorsements that appear in the official Multnomah County Voters Pamphlet. Mia and I talked about all the viable candidates in D3 and she shared who they endorsed in the race.
Remember this is now a video podcast, so you can watch it on our YouTube channel or in your podcast player if it supports video.
