Michael Miller doesn’t
think he has a chance of win-
ning. But the Astoria man
who protested how the men-
tally ill are treated by standing
naked with a sign on Marine
Drive over the Memorial Day
weekend says he will run for
mayor.
He plans to use his candi-
dacy “to advocate for those
people and things I feel pas-
sionate about, as a way of
inviting others to share their
views, and to uplift some who
are usually invisible to our
community’s ‘little chairs of
power.’”
Miller, also known by his
nickname “Sasha,” is a famil-
iar figure in Astoria, often
seen riding his bike with a
dog or two following close
behind. He has lived here
on and off for 26 years. This
will be his first time running
for public office. He will run
against City Councilor Cindy
Price and downtown business
owner Dulcye Taylor.
Miller announced his can-
didacy on Facebook last
week, but only just secured
the signatures he needs to be
considered a candidate. He

Student journalist interns in Astoria
as a reporter, copy editor and
head of the newspaper’s liv-
ing section. She will serve next
year as editor-in-chief.
During her time with The
Beacon, Sievert has reported
on a wide swath of campus
issues, from a perceived lack
of diversity on campus to stu-
dents who want to join the
clergy, a topic for which she
won a national feature-writing
award from the Society of Pro-
fessional Journalists.
“That was so interesting
just talking to them, because
it’s so countercultural for these
kids to say, ‘Yes; I’m ready for
a life of celibacy,’” she said.
Her most difficult story to
decipher, she said, was report-
ing on a professor’s and his
students’ research into poten-
tially harmful odors being
released by Daimler Trucks
North America, located in the
Swan Island industrial cen-
ter just below the universi-
ty’s campus. Sievert’s most
recent story with The Beacon
highlighted several nonbinary
students.
“It was a privilege to tell
their story,” she said. “A lot of
them are very nervous about
people knowing, but they were
also like, ‘This story needs to
be told so other kids who feel
like me feel free to express
themselves.’”
Sievert isn’t set on what
aspect of the media she would
like to work in and hopes the
Snowden internship will help
her test the waters as a reporter.
The Snowden program, named
after the longtime editor of The
Oregonian and Oregon Jour-
nal, places college students in
a paid summer internship with
newspapers around the state.
When she’s not working,
Sievert said, she likes to run,
hike and work on her photog-
raphy and radio skills.

As a high schooler in Gig
Harbor, Washington, Han-
nah Sievert was always seek-
ing out people’s stories. She
grew enamored with National
Public Radio’s “This Ameri-
can Life,” a weekly radio pro-
gram and podcast hosted by Ira
Glass, even receiving an auto-
graphed letter and photo of the
journalist from her mother as a
graduation present.
Sievert, 20, now a senior at
the University of Portland and
the editor of the campus news-
paper, The Beacon, is spend-
ing her summer as The Daily
Astorian’s intern through the
Charles Snowden Program
for Excellence in Journalism.
Both of Sievert’s parents
work in business and encour-
aged her to try a different field,
she said. She studies organiza-
tional communication with an
English minor, mixing her lit-
erary pursuits with an under-
standing of effective commu-
nication skills.
She joined The Beacon
her freshman year as a way to
integrate on campus and has
worked her way up the ranks
