NEW w/ @LeadLocally: Portland voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who has a reputation as a climate leader. They also oppose new fossil fuel projects within city limits and an "oil-by-rail" facility to store and transfer crude oil in Portland. dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/10/2…

THIS JUST IN: We partnered with @DataProgress to survey likely Portland (OR) voters ahead of the election. Over TWO THIRDS of Portland voters are *more likely* to vote for a climate leader. AND those voters strongly prefer candidates that support strong climate policy 🧵
