Jenny Brekhus, a Councilwoman from the Great Recession to Coronavirus

As part of a new series, we are interviewing some of those running for local office, to discuss their ideas surrounding homelessness, gentrification, the affordable housing crisis and now coronavirus in the Biggest Little City. Our first interview for this series is with Ward 1 incumbent Jenny Brekhus. Due to social isolation, the interview with Scott King was conducted over the phone and wasn't of the best quality, but her answers still provide a very distinct voice in the local political landscape. We will be interviewing others seeking the Ward 1 seat and including those interviews in the weeks ahead.
