Gary Johnson is Coming to Portland? Will the City Put a Bird on It?

The Libertarian candidate is coming to town on Thursday.

During the primaries, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders came to Portland and, as he gave a speech, it became a Portlandia skit come to life when a bird landed on his podium.

On Thursday, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson will be on town hoping for some of that same magic. Though, since the former two-term Governor Of New Mexico is speaking indoors, it's unlikely.

Johnson will be at Mayfair Ballroom in the Benson Hotel at 6:00 Thursday evening. Doors open at 5:00.
