I am pleased to announce that I have been officially certified as a candidate in the November 4th election for the Portland City Council, at-large. I am, as many of you are, a Portlander by choice.
I love the uniqueness of the streets and the businesses, the hard-working nature of the people, the smell of the ocean, the vibrant arts and culture scene, and, of course, the food. I have a crazy sweet tooth and have been to almost every bakery.
However, there are some things we are not so proud of in our city as of late.
It is for these reasons that I stand before you, asking for your support in leading the change towards a better future for Portland.
