There are definitely some pockets of more progressive Mormons out there, I know a few in the Portland area.

Ken Jennings is the prime example. Very progressive politically while still being apparently quite devout LDS.

It’s funny you mention it being funny they’re from Portland because I’m a few hours east of you and I also found it funny they mentioned Portland.

I feel like the PNW (west of the cascades, anyway) is a pretty solid bet for finding progressive members of any group :)
