These are just a few of the phrases you will hear from residents in Southeast Portland:

“I’m living in a nightmare neighborhood.”
“I want to cry. I just want my house back.”
“My lawn is now becoming a public bathroom.”

In case you missed it… last week, KGW reported on the homeless crisis that has plagued one Portland neighborhood so badly, residents are afraid to leave their homes. With violence and open drug use now the norm, one mother proclaims she can’t let her kids outside to play while another woman says she was forced to board up her home.

“As Portland residents cry out for help, they know the failed Democrats Tina Kotek and Betsy Johnson won’t come running,” said RGA Spokeswoman Kaitlin Price. “Oregonians are desperate for relief from the crisis that they see as the biggest problem facing their state that has only gotten worse under the leadership of Kate Brown and allies Kotek and Johnson.”
