Chloe Eudaly, owner of Reading Frenzy in Portland, Ore., is running for a seat on the City Council, challenging incumbent commissioner Steve Novick, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. The race is non-partisan, but both candidates call themselves progressive Democrats.
OPD said Eudaly--who has been a community organizer, started a PTA for parents of children with disabilities and chaired the Regional Arts & Culture Council--"wants to be a voice on the council for people that Portland isn't working for right now, people being priced out of the city." She has called for an emergency freeze on rents and wants the city to implement some kind of rent control.
Eudaly added: "As a small business owner and a community activist for the last 25 years and a renter, I will bring needed experience and perspective to the council."
Founded 22 years ago, Reading Frenzy focuses on independent, small press and self-published titles and is home to Show & Tell Press and Minikin Gallery.
