# Newly elected Portland mayor Charlie Hales on the Portland startup scene

[There’s a new mayor in town](http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/11/portland_mayor-elect_charlie_h.html "Portland Mayor-elect Charlie Hales will work every day to make city proud"). And while you may not have had the opportunity to meet him during the campaign, it seems now would be a very opportune time for getting to know [Charlie Hales](https://twitter.com/HalesforMayor "Charlie Hales") and his views on Portland’s startup scene. And a good day for a [Meet the Startup](http://meetthestartup.com "Meet the Startup") rerun.
