Podcast appearances and mentions of Keith Wilson

Over the weekend, protesters gathered in the buff to speak out against the Trump administration’s attempts to mobilize the National Guard. Last week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and met with high-profile leaders, including the city’s mayor Keith Wilson. Mayor Wilson urged the defense secretary to stop the use of chemical munitions and force against protesters. At the same time, Mayor Wilson’s one year promise to end unsheltered homelessness in the city is fast approaching. Mayor Wilson joins us to share more on his response to the continued protest, the ongoing threat of the National Guard and where things stand now with the city and homelessness.

Join Julie Murphy and Dion O'Reilly for a conversation that moves through love, loss, and wonder — from Yeats' “The Wild Swans at Coole” to Andrea Cohen's sharp humor in Something, Richard Siken's quiet reflections in “Kitchen Window,” and the stargazing tenderness of Keith Wilson's “there aren't enough idioms about the stars.” We'll also talk about Gabrielle Calvocoressi's moving “Miss you. Would like to grab that chilled tofu we love” and the poignant beauty of  Connie Leung's “Autumn in Prison.”  These poems remind us how language can hold both the ache and the brightness of being alive.

This week, Portland City Council finalized a city budget totaling over $8 billion in spending for next year. It includes more funding for alternative shelter sites and an expansion of Portland Street Response, but cuts to the office of Civic Life and less funding for the Portland Police Bureau than the mayor had requested. Mayor Keith Wilson joins us to discuss his plans for executing this final budget. We’ll also discuss the Trump administration’s calls for increased immigration enforcement in West Coast cities and the protests at Portland’s ICE facility.    

Keith Wilson's first term as the mayor of Portland is off to a busy start: He's led the city through the transition to its new form of government, accounted for a $93 million shortfall in his proposed city budget — which will soon be finalized by City Council — and pushed for a big increase in spending on his signature issue of ending unsheltered homelessness in Portland. Today, we're checking in with Mayor Wilson about his first five months in office. Become a member of City Cast Portland today!

During his campaign to be Portland’s next mayor, Keith Wilson had an idyllic pitch for the city’s future. Now the mayor is up against his first major challenge: balancing the budget. With a huge funding gap, how does Wilson hope to confront the city’s problems? On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Bryce Dole and Alex Zielinski discuss Wilson’s plans, the political tradeoffs and much more. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

On Monday, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson unveiled a budget for the city as it faces a massive budget shortfall. That deficit is $65 million if you don’t include the cost of the mayor’s ambitious plan to end unsheltered homelessness, or the city's new obligations to pay for homeless shelters that Multnomah County previously paid for. Mayor Wilson’s budget calls for staff layoffs and cuts to some programs and services, while also expanding staffing for homeless services outreach, Portland Street Response and Portland Fire & Rescue. In February, City Administrator Michael Jordan outlined the scope of the deficit in the city’s general fund that is due to a range of factors, from steep declines in property and business tax revenues to mounting overtime and healthcare costs.  The 12-member city council has until June to approve a budget and has held budget listening sessions where it’s heard from constituents concerned about cuts to city programs and services. Joining us to share details about Mayor Wilson’s proposed budget is OPB’s Portland city government reporter Alex Zielinski.

Episode 2463: When pain and betrayal threaten to consume you, there remains something untouchable within your dignity, self-respect, and power of choice. Keith Wilson explores the ancient concept of prohairesis, the inner resilience that allows us to rise above hardship, take responsibility for what we can control, and refuse to be defined by our suffering. No matter how much has been lost, this strength is always within reach, ready to be reclaimed. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/hello-love/what-cant-be-hurt-ec65a2b9656a Quotes to ponder: "The idea behind the concept is that, while you have no control of what others do to you, or what fate does to you; you have control over what you do with it." "You exercise prohairesis by taking responsibility, not of everything, but only of the things you are responsible for: yourself and what you do." "You may have misplaced it, or never knew it existed; you may have given it away; but you can always get more prohairesis." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Keith Wilson explores the ancient concept of prohairesis, the inner resilience that allows us to rise above hardship, take responsibility for what we can control, and refuse to be defined by our suffering. No matter how much has been lost, this strength is always within reach, ready to be reclaimed. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/hello-love/what-cant-be-hurt-ec65a2b9656a Quotes to ponder: "The idea behind the concept is that, while you have no control of what others do to you, or what fate does to you; you have control over what you do with it." "You exercise prohairesis by taking responsibility, not of everything, but only of the things you are responsible for: yourself and what you do." "You may have misplaced it, or never knew it existed; you may have given it away; but you can always get more prohairesis." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 3448: Keith Wilson delves into the often-misunderstood emotion of envy, distinguishing it from jealousy and explaining its roots in feelings of injustice and inequality. By understanding how envy distorts perceptions and fosters unhappiness, he offers a path toward overcoming it through self-awareness, gratitude, and a focus on personal growth rather than comparison.

"Getting the car your neighbor has, having a baby, showing off an achievement, going on vacation, or making the best-seller list will not, repeat, NOT make you, me, or anyone happy for more than a day or two." "Blind yourself to the advantages of others. Focus on what you do have, the privileges you enjoy that others may wish they had."

Keith Wilson seemed to come out of nowhere. Until earlier last year, he was a trucking company president whose one previous attempt at elected office got paltry results. Then, suddenly, he was a frontrunner in Portland’s high-stakes mayoral race, with an audacious pitch to solve the city’s most difficult issue. Now, he’s the mayor.  Given that swift turn of events, you might be asking yourself: Who is Keith Wilson? That's the topic of this week's episode of OPB Politics Now. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

During an interview on “Think Out Loud” last month, Portland Mayor-elect Keith Wilson said that he was “an admirer” of Interim City Administrator Michael Jordan when describing whom he would want to hire to oversee the day-to-day operations of city bureaus. Outgoing Mayor Ted Wheeler announced Jordan’s appointment in May as part of the voter-approved changes to Portland’s new form of governance and elections using ranked choice voting.  Jordan’s contract was set to expire on June 30, 2025 to ease the transition from one administration to the next. But Jordan will now stay on through at least the end of next year, according to reporting by The Oregonian. Jordan joins us to talk about the transition and his priorities amid a grim financial outlook for the city’s finances and its departments.

 After the second release of preliminary election results from Multnomah County on Wednesday night, Keith Wilson maintained his lead in the mayoral race. The Oregonian has already called the race, and opponents Carmen Rubio and Rene Gonzalez have both conceded to him. Wilson is the CEO of a local trucking company and ran on a platform to end homelessness by 2026 by expanding shelter capacity and strengthening the city’s partnership with Multnomah County to tackle the crisis. Wilson joins us now to share more on his recent victory and vision for the city.        

On Wednesday, three Portland Commissioners - Mingus Mapps, Rene Gonzalez and Dan Ryan - decided to pull an ordinance they had filed to end the city’s 8-year partnership with Multnomah County to fight homelessness. The decision was made as Portland is poised to elect Keith Wilson, the owner of a trucking company as its next mayor, who opposes the city leaving the Joint Office of Homeless Services. The newly elected 12-person city council, along with the new mayor, will get to decide the fate of the intergovernmental agreement with the county in just two months. In a letter she sent on election day, Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson said she was ready to work with Portland’s next mayor and new Multnomah County and Portland city commissioners on “solving the most pressing and challenging issues this community will face in the coming months and years.” Chair Vega Pederson joins us to talk about how new Portland city leaders might affect the future of the Joint Office on Homeless Services.

Keith Wilson will be Portland’s next mayor. And the 12 person city council is coming into focus. I’m Andrew Theen. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, we talk about Wilson’s victory, the new faces coming to city council and much more. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts

We're a few days out from Election Day 2024, and reporters at The Oregonian/OregonLive have been hard at work trying to decode all the results and what they mean for our region. Portland's got a new mayor, and the new City Council is coming into focus too. Voters chose two new progressive Multnomah County Commissioner candidates over their more moderate opponents, while the Clackamas County Commission is on the verge of a big power shift. Democrats remain in the driver's seat in Salem, and are poised to win nationally watched Congressional races in the Pacific Northwest too. This week's podcast breaks it all down, plus we'll get into the Election Day moments we'll still be thinking about six months from now.

Episode 3329: Keith Wilson uses the metaphor of a bus to illustrate how our emotions can take control of our lives if we let them. By strengthening our ego, the driver of the bus, we can ensure that our values, not impulsive feelings, guide our actions. This balance allows us to navigate life with integrity and purpose, ensuring we honor all our values without letting any single emotion dominate Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/change-becomes-you/who-is-driving-your-bus-b811ebeda4d6 Quotes to ponder: "That's what it's like when every new feeling you get takes over and drives you where it wants to go." "Strength is one thing, but the ego needs a reason to use its strength." "A strong ego works out by getting you up in the morning when you want to mope. Strong egos get stuff done."
