The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are:
Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4)
Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.

Please list the swing vote councillors specifically so people know who to contact. With everything going on in the country right now, it's hard to keep up with who is doing what, especially now that there are so many of you.

And he was still threatening to kill someone.
