“When we stand together against corporate interests, we can win”.  So writes Julia DeGraw on her website.  

We talk with Portland City Council candidate Julia DeGraw on why she is running and her plans to change the structure of city government if elected.  Changes advocated include moving from present commission system with all officials elected city -wide to one elected by districts and the likely development of a strong mayor and a city council whose members would not be in charge of city bureaus.  

She also talks about her slogan (Tax the Rich) and why that is necessary; her vision; her pledge that to take corporate political contributions; her take on the FCC net neutrality rule change and why the City should develop it's own internet system;  and the ideas keep coming.
