Is there like ONE LO household in Wa Co? Where would that be?

There are a few, maybe 5. They are near the I-5/Carmen area on the far west side. Only two registered voters there.

MacPherson raised about 10 times as much as Studebaker. MacPherson is a big D, and the money came from out of town.
Sure hope this isn't going to be one of those "miracles" like Donna Jordan that picked up a couple hundred votes when everyone was looking the other way.
One of the Toy Train/Portlandistan/UberPlanners won. And he got real nasty at the end of the campaign. Jon Gustafson. Bears watching.

There's consensus (don't you just love that word) that Jon's bark is worse than his bite. His reputation is as a lightweight, and as a rail mafia/smart growth stooge. He will be in a minority on the council no matter who the mayor is. Donna and Jon march to the Jack & Judie drumbeat for density and change.
Macpherson posted a huge expenditure on ORESTAR on Election Day that confirms where some of his money is going. He is using a Chicago PR firm called Compass Media that works on Democratic and Progressive campaigns. Compass has assisted Merkley, Schrader, Sierra Club of Oregon, and other national campaigns. Having posted 3 expenditures in one on the 6th, one has to wonder how long Greg has been sitting on those invoices, or if there is a requirement to post expenses within a short timeframe, it would be interesting to see the contract for payment for services with Compass.
Total to just Compass Media by 11/6 was $27k, but with over $52k in his kitty, no doubt Greg either has more expenses yet to show, or a nice bank account for ??? Something. Maybe giving to other campaigns, since that is one way to shuffle and hide donor information. Maybe his pals in the Junta (Jack Hoffman included) will give him suggestions. Perhaps seed money for the next LO council/mayor? It is getting so weird around here with money and shenanigans galore it is mind boggling. If I didn't know better, I wouldn't believe it myself. LO??? Wow.
