Jennifer Yeh is a mother, a neighborhood advocate, and one-eighth of Eugene's City Council, representing Ward 4 (Northeast Eugene/Harlow). While I've expressed critical testimony at several meetings, her thoughtful receptiveness and sincere listening skills have always been self-evident. She is also a UO graduate in English, and the co-Executive Director for the Lane County History Museum. 

We discuss not liking beer (1:55 ), private citizen to public official (2:51 ), representing Ward 4 (is it conservative?) (7:47 ), campaign priorities (11:52 ), businesses, MUPTE, Opportunity Zones (14:34 ), Riverfront update and Yeh's qualifications (19:25 ), diversity on boards and commissions (24:38 ), inclusion and mental health (28:17 ), her family and anti-Asian racism (31:07 ) Britney Spears, Ye, fame and bullying (34:33 ), children, technology and photography (39:00 ), two new TV shows (The Dropout, The Chair) (45:22 ), Eugene in 2040 and electrification (48:02 ), EVs, car culture and transportation (53:33 ), getting involved and why I dislike "Councilor" (59:43 ), the brokenness of addiction services (1:04:07 ).
