Because of this work he was rewarded the National Arbor Day excellence in Urban Forestry Leadership Award in 2010.[9] Bragdon was rumored to be a leading potential candidate for Mayor of Portland in 2008, but in response to speculation that he would run, he issued a satirical press release disavowing intent to run for Mayor of Portland or of any other city in the region that year.[10] He is a train enthusiast,[3] and as a kid wrote a booklet for TriMet about bus riding and how to use the TriMet bus system.[11][12] He hosted a Sunday morning television show called "Outlook Portland" in 2008–09.

He was 12 when his family moved from New York City to Portland.[4] His brother, Peter Bragdon, is a sportswear executive who was Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski's chief of staff in the early 2000s.[14] His sister, Susan Bragdon, is an attorney specializing in intellectual property related for food and agriculture.[15] Bragdon graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree with honors in government in 1982 and obtained a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Reed College in 2009.[4][16] See also
