Stripper Liv Osthus Runs for Portland Mayor with Arts-Centric Revival Plan

Liv Osthus, known as Viva Las Vegas, proposes an arts hub to rejuvenate downtown Portland and address the city's homelessness and drug issues.

Liv Osthus, a popular stripper and advocate for the arts, is running for mayor of Portland, Oregon, aiming to revitalize the city through an arts-focused approach.
Osthus believes that establishing an arts hub downtown can stimulate local business growth and bring energy back to the city's core.
She suggests treating homelessness as a national disaster, requiring support from all levels of government, and plans to delegate mayoral tasks to a team.
Despite having no political experience, Osthus is confident her background in the arts and advocacy for sex workers will resonate with voters.
Recent polls show a majority of Portland residents feel the city is declining, amid an exodus following the Black Lives Matter riots.
