When I was running for Mayor in my first term, a newspaper reporter stuck a mic in my face and asked, "It's been reported that you've used drugs in the past - is that true?" I replied, "I did everything but gargle the bong water." I won 2 terms by a wide margin. #420day

As I wind down my time in office as Mayor, here are some highlights. Three years ago, in the midst of our opioid/heroin issues in Hillsboro, I had these signs made and placed on the 4 entrances to town. Controversial, maybe. But I think they were a deterrent.
