Potter pledged to continue to participate in rides around town with the community, and to prevail upon the police to work with the cycling community, including "elements of the cycling community that they currently do not understand," which was interpreted as a promising sign by those of us there concerned about Critical Mass.
Potter seemed to be well acquainted with Critical Mass and some of the problems it has had, as evidenced by remarks he made afterwards to someone who approached him with a letter signed by Critical Mass riders -- or would-be riders -- fed up with police harrassment.
Potter was police chief during Bud Clark's administration, and it was clear from his remarks that he also had Clark's legacy in mind, pledging to take concrete steps to be accessible.

 Willamette Week Online | News | COVER STORY | Cover Story | The $25 Candidate • Tom Potter thinks he can be ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Potter, for his part, thinks this race is proof that something is wrong: "Something has changed in our society where money has become the driving issue for candidates, instead of their qualifications to hold office."
Potter, for his part, is pursuing what could be called a gray-gay strategy: targeting seniors who will be attracted by his age, 63, and residual name recognition, as well as a gay community that was incensed by Francesconi's public statements that "marriage" should be between a man and a woman.
And if Potter makes the runoff, says his supporter Duffy, then "it's a whole new ballgame." Media outlets that have largely ignored the primary would start to pay attention, and the pressure would be on Potter to raise his contribution cap to $250 or so--which would make the same philosophical statement.
