Too many Portlanders feel like Portland City Council is out of touch and not working to address the challenges they face everyday. With our new form of government, East Portland has a chance to elect champions that will keep the city accountable to deliver the services our communities need. We deserve to elect members of our own unique communities who understand the lived experiences of our neighbors, and can bring new diverse voices to the table where crucial decisions are being made for our future. The valuable time and energy community members give to our city when sharing their ideas, needs, and dreams must be honored with a response and action by our City’s leadership. As your champion in City Hall, I will make sure East Portland gets the investment and services it is owed, along with the robust constituent services needed to reflect our voices into the decisions we make for our collective future.
