In 2020, I ran for Portland City Council, City Commissioner - Position 1 to replace Amanda Fritz, who was retiring. I was not running against anyone, I'm running with YOU! We did not receive enough votes to win the primary, but now we have more time to get to know each other & work on our plans for the city, wherein we may run again in 2024!
Over the last 25+ years in Portland, I've been listening to leaders (if one person follows you, you are a leader) and coming to a better understanding of what is taking place in our city. I don't know everyone, nor do I know everything that I need to know to serve you, but I will do my best, if you will work with me.
I've also been very intentional over the years to build relationships and friendships with people that are very different from me and obviously, have very different perspectives on everything. I can't always see what they see from their side of a situation, but because of my relationship with them, I trust them and can believe that what they see is very real.
The real question is whether you want something different in city government or do you want things to stay the same. Are you flourishing and falling in love with Portland, all over again, or do some things need to change for the better for everyone? People are going to people (and that is sometimes a real challenge for all of us) but we can still work together and find a path, if we take the time to listen & really hear each other. I've had lots of practice in this area of life and love it when a plan comes TOGETHER!!
To move forward, I need your Time, Talents & Treasures (not all of them). Thank you for thinking about it! Let's do this, TOGETHER!!!
