Andy Chandler was hired as a part-time videographer by City Councilor Dan Ryan but was terminated shortly thereafter due to the discovery of his public political views, which conflicted with the values of the office. His employment lasted from July 14 to July 17. Chandler is known for his provocative stance on issues, being an outspoken critic of gender-affirming care and expressing right-wing views that align with notable figures such as Andy Ngo. His podcast, NW Fresh, features guests from diverse political backgrounds, including anti-trans activists.
Kezia Wanner, Councilor Ryan's Chief of Staff, stated, 'We had hired Andy Chandler to work as a videographer for us part-time, but as some information about his past expressions of personal views have come forward that are not in alignment with our office values, we have decided to end this employment arrangement.'
Chandler's public political views include labeling Oregon Health and Science University's gender-affirming care 'illegal and damaging youth malpractice' and calling DEI policies 'discrimination based on race.'
Chandler's views are synonymous with those of provocative right-wing figures. He has aligned his commentary with that of Andy Ngo, a known right-wing influencer.
