Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty was a prominent figure in the 2020 election, despite the fact she wasn’t on the ballot. She pushed for a ballot measure to overhaul the city’s police oversight system, which passed with more than 80 percent of the vote. Hardesty talks with us about the election, and how the make-up of the new city council will affect her work going forward.
