My Platform
Endless Possibilities
When looking out at Portland, many see division and tension, but I am hopeful. I see diversity of thought, diversity of lived experiences as our strength and our path forward. Our growth has brought challenges, but only by having everyone at the table can we come together as neighbors and tackle these issues.
My Platform Cornerstones
After beginning this campaign officially on August 1st, 2019, we have spent time on the trail listening to the lived experiences of Portlanders. From community events and forums to one on ones with experts and personal conversations, we have collected stories that contribute to the perspective we are sharing in this platform. As we continue to engage with the community in the months leading up to the primary, we intend to evolve our campaign and our platform to reflect the changes we all want to see to make Portland better. This is really important to our overall message that the leaders we need on Portland City Council must engage more with Portlanders and value their voices and their trust. Our leaders don’t need to have all the answers, but instead must bring together the community to collaboratively and compassionately find the answers that make a better Portland possible. Connect with us about your thoughts on our platform and tell your story so we can do our best to reflect your lived experience in our vision for Portland.
Accountability & Accessibility
We must improve access to our government for feedback to engage community members in the decision making process.
Housing & Houselessness
Together we must create a culture that makes it socially and politically unacceptable for our neighbors to remain houseless.
Public Safety
We need to empower our leaders to hold problem officers accountable while strengthening the citizen review process.
Transportation & Infrastructure
How we get from point A to point B in this city defines how we structure our lives, from running errands to going to work.
Environment & Climate
A comprehensive approach to our environment, that incorporates urgency and action, is what Portland needs, and what I will fight for.
Economy & Workforce Development
It’s important that on the local level of government we make decisions that give Portlanders access to growth opportunities.
