I met up with Portland City Council (D4) candidate Chad Lykins in Hillsdale today and we biked around southwest. In this episode you'll hear an interview-by-bike as we survey various bits of bike infrastructure and make several stops along the way. We talk about a lot more than just bike stuff! At a stop at a Safe Rest Village we talk about housing and homelessness and we talked about development and Portland politics while standing at the Alpenrose Dairy Site.
Lykins is a leading candidate and sources say he's got a real shot at winning one of the three seats in District 4. He's got a PhD in public policy from Vanderbilt University and is currently the leader of a statewide chess organization, in addition to owning a business that runs afterschool chess programs throughout the region.
You might have met him at Bike Happy Hour a few months ago, but to really understand him and his perspective, I highly recommend listening to this entire episode.
