I am the proud son of a Mexican migrant worker, married to a Latina woman, raising 3 biracial children. Working towards a city that doesn&#8217;t judge people or candidates based on their race. This election is about restoring livability &#038; safety for all races.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hardesty wrote in a tweet on Monday, &#8220;We are a week away from Election Day. If voting doesn&#8217;t matter, then it won&#8217;t do any harm to turn your ballot in. If voting *does* matter, it will change the course of our lives. You know who never misses an election? Older, wealthy voters. People with moneyed interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued in the thread, &#8220;Coincidentally, wealthy white people are the least negatively impacted by policies passed in local government. They will be the last to feel a 14.6% rent increase, the last to experience climate change, the least likely to have loved ones&#8217; lives taken by unaccountable police.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This election will determine if Portland moves towards a more humane, anti-racist future, or if we will slide back into Oregon&#8217;s white supremacist and classist history,&#8221; Hardest added. &#8220;Talk to your neighbors, organize your community. Every single vote matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hardesty concluded the thread by saying, &#8220;People tend to pay less attention in local elections, but local elections have countless impacts on our day to day lives. Wealthy power brokers understand this. Do you? Have your ballots in or postmarked by November 8th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A recent poll commissioned by The Oregonian and OregonLive showed that 49 percent of likely voters said they\u2019d vote for Gonzalez, a lawyer, and technology business owner, compared to 22 percent for Hardesty, an anti-police, pro-Antifa, one-term incumbent. 29 percent said they were undecided.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/politics\/2022\/10\/portland-city-council-candidate-rene-gonzalez-holds-commanding-lead-over-jo-ann-hardesty-in-oregonianoregonlive-poll.html\">Oregon Live<\/a>, \u201cPortland City Council candidate Rene Gonzalez holds a commanding lead over incumbent Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty a month before November\u2019s general election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hardesty&#8217;s tweet equating her Latino opponent with &#8220;white supremacy&#8221; was the latest speedbump in her floundering campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the radical commissioner was <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/far-left-portland-city-councilwoman-accused-of-stolen-valor-after-military-record-questioned\">called out at a meeting<\/a> of the Portland City Council for stolen valor by a man identifying as a veteran who claimed he had made a FOIA request for Hardesty\u2019s military service record and discovered that the anti-police council member lied about her service.
