Awesome news! The interview went well. I received Willamette Week's endorsement.
"The best contender to succeed him [Mark Meek] is Charles Gallia, 64. We’ve long had a soft spot for Gallia, who ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate in 2018. Gallia concedes that his ambition is narrow: He wants universal health care. But his qualifications are extensive: He spent 15 years at the Oregon Health Authority and has helped a state task force craft a policy to expand coverage.”
