Hagedorn for Judge

Saturday morning neighborhood runs have a been a tradition for Hau and her friends as a way to find joy exploring nooks and crannies, and I’m always glad when I’m invited. The unexpected joys this morning included the jeepney mural at Fernwood Park, Alberta Alley, and meeting a CASA at breakfast.

A CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, is a volunteer that advocates for the best interest of children on abuse and neglect cases. He remembered that I had sworn him in. 🙂

You never know who you’ll meet in the community and CASAs play such an important role in the juvenile justice system. To all the CASAs, thank you for all that you do!

This is what community looks like! Thanks for letting me join your bike bus . I enjoyed experiencing what makes the James John community special. I liked how the bike and walk buses converged, and got a bit of gravel riding in too. The last bike bus before Election Day.

Had the pleasure of reconnecting with Pastor Mark Knutson (Augustana Church) at the Reunion celebrating 40 years! Pastor Knutson and I were part of the Juvenile Justice Collaboration Lab cohort. I’m in awe of the ALF network and their contributions to uplifting communities across Oregon.

Well that was fun!! Thanks for bringing the judicial candidates together.

Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing wife and to all the moms! I followed her to Portland from Minnesota over 25 years ago, and it’s been quite the adventure!

I’m no Mamdani and hardly a special guest but I joined the this morning! I guess it’s a trend among those running for office 😅. It was nice riding with the Vernon families and , the force behind the movement. Such a vibrant community and loved biking on Going opposite of my regular commute.
