00:18On checking out art as she\\u2019s knocking campaigning
\\u201cI started an Instagram account just to collect all the little pieces of art people have in their yards.\\u201d

01:17 On her vision for Portland\\u2019s future
\\u201cI\\u2019ve lived here for 23 years\\u2026 I knew Portland before it was built up and gentrified\\u2026 we\\u2019re going through some growing pains. And we\\u2019re going to have to handle them in ways that are mindful.\\u201d

03:00On the city\\u2019s contributions to RACC
\\u201cI think we could do more to fund tiny operations. Encouraging artists who are small scale is also good.\\u201d

04:40On how RACC distributes city funds
"There\\u2019s only a couple of us running for office that are as far east as I am. We don\\u2019t see enough out there, certainly.\\u201d

0550 On that should be done with Portland\\u2019s budget surpluses
\\u201cIf you take the back of a napkin and list the things we owe money on, there is huge debt coming onto us. We need to get not hat sooner rather than later. Should we be saying that this [art] is a separate fund or should we be integrating art into everything we do?\\u201d

07:35On whether she\\u2019d welcome a chance to supervise the city\\u2019s arts portfolio.
\\u201cI think that would be great! However I think it would be possible to have that connection to art in any bureau. We can incorporate artists and the way they think and look at the world, into what we\\u2019re doing no matter what bureau I\\u2019m in charge of.\\u201d

09:55On housing solutions
\\u201cWe can\\u2019t build ourselves out of this\\u2026I think we\\u2019ve missed the boat on creative solutions like tiny houses. I\\u2019m not sure why we don\\u2019t have a way to streamline permitting and abatement of taxes to increase the ADUs in our backyards.\\u201d

12:20 On incentives in the commercial real estate market
"A lot of the new permitting going on is mixed use. We\\u2019re going to have mixed use in many neighborhoods where it wasn\\u2019t there before. How can we have some of that commercial space be affordable as well?\\u201d

15:10 On Portland\\u2019s arts tax
\\u201cI\'m not anti-tax, I\\u2019m anti-stupid tax. The arts tax was badly designed, badly implemented. When you want to hold up something about the city that doesn\\u2019t work, if you are anti-tax, then you hold up the arts tax.\\u201d

18:24 On whether Portland is losing its soul
\\u201cI was feeling really disconnected from my city for a while\\u2026But campaigning I fell in love with Portland again. If I get elected, I\\u2019m just going to keep knocking on doors.\\u201d

2045On why East Portland embodies what she wants to work on, if elected
\\u201cWhen I talk to people in Brentwood-Darlington who say they feel they haven\\u2019t been heard in years, they\\u2019re my neighbors. East Portland is not a check-box you pay attention to during elections\\u2026 We could incentivize remodeling, keeping older buildings in place.\\u201d'
