Portland Forward

ll. Our coalition is not focused around money or political careerism, but around directing the city forward, not about backroom deals, but about transparent political processes. We aim to connect the leaders and innovators of Portland’s past with our future leaders and innovators. We want to enable people to innovate: people often have the best ideas for their own places in the city of change, but are stalled by bureaucracy. We are committed to building a community for all ages that is both anxious and equipped to work for change.
​
Our platform is progressive: we want to eliminate houselessness, decrease the wage gap, improve the school’s, fix our crumbling crowded transportation system, stop displacement, end police brutality, meaningfully decrease carbon emissions, and more. We will do this not from the top down but from the ground up, involving the many active groups and leaders of the city. We work together on our shared vision, seeking to positively influence not only our city, but also our region, our state, and our country. Please contact me if you would like to get involved!
