The Research Behind the Priorities:
Portland deserves a City Council member who shows up with evidence, not just intention. Six priorities. Real data. Credible sources.
My Priorities:
01
Housing That Works
Portland should be a place people can stay — not just visit. We need streamlined permitting, responsible density, and housing that people actually need, so Portlanders can remain in Portland.
02
Caring for Our Coast
We can't claim to love this place and keep treating it like a trash can. We need cleaner streets and shorelines, stronger stewardship, and real accountability for protecting Portland's coast and ocean.
03
Keeping Us Safe
Safety starts with connection — knowing whom to call, feeling heard, and getting help before things break down. We need stronger community response systems and better support before crisis becomes harm.
04
Building Our City
A strong city depends on the people who keep it running. We need to invest in workers, families, artists, small businesses, and the everyday systems that make Portland livable.
05
Growing Our Community
When neighbors know each other, the social fabric gets stronger. We need neighborhood connection, civic participation, and public spaces where people can gather and truly belong.
06
A Place for the Arts & Artists
Portland's creative economy supports 18,749 jobs and generates $2.5 billion annually — but artists can't afford to stay. We need a self-sustaining Arts & Culture Fund that keeps creatives in the city they built.
