Cover Story piece on Ethan Strimling, 33, of Portland, executive director of the Portland West Neighborhood Planning Council, a nonprofit agency that serves low-income people and at-risk youth. Strimling made an unsuccessful run for an at-large seat on the Portland City Council in 1999, and plans to run for the state Senate in 2002 as a publicly financed Clean Election candidate. But Sen. Anne Rand, D-Portland, who will be forced out of office next year by term limits, has already endorsed Strimling\u27s opponent in the Democratic primary election, state represenative Michael Quint of Portland. Strimling\u27s supporters say he\u27s intelligent, hardworking and dedicated to improving people\u27s lives. But his opponents say he\u27s power-hungry, slick and phony. With details about Strimling\u27s and Quint\u27s planned Senate primary campaigns
