Editor s note: This is the 12th part in Frontpage Mag s series on Racist Mayors. (See previous parts below this article). Stay tuned for more installments.

His biography states that he loves any type of physical challenge: swimming laps, running half marathons, participating in triathlons and Iron Man contests. Not only that, but the 6 foot 59-year-old has climbed and reached the summit of Mount Everest and doesn’t let being mayor keep him from taking quick swims in Portland’s Willamette River. His picturesque Oregonian boyhood included hiking, camping and climbing local peaks, further proof, as if any was needed, that his favorite sort of challenge is the one-on-one variety - or doing things his way.
