About this episode
Under Mayor Ted Wheeler’s watch, Portlanders have lived through the pandemic, the George Floyd uprising, unprecedented housing and fentanyl crises, and the complete overhaul of our city’s government. Maybe it’s no wonder then that Wheeler is one of our most criticized local politicians. Now he has just nine months left, since he’s not seeking reelection. Today on City Cast Portland, we’re asking Mayor Wheeler about what it’s like to be one of Portland’s least popular politicians and what his priorities are before he leaves office at the end of the year.
