Portland City Council District 4
Portland Needs A Course Correction
Why am I running for Portland City Council?
Portland needs a course correction. We stand at a crossroads in 2024, and voters have an opportunity to set a new direction. As a former school superintendent, and four-term mayor, my experience has prepared me to tackle Portland's pressing issues. I love this city, and I will work tirelessly for responsible budgets and new solutions for public safety, homelessness, housing affordability, transportation, and climate change.
I ask for your vote so we can shape a better future for our city.
