Portland is way too expensive. I will fight to lower costs and make life easier.
I’m running for Portland City Council in District 4 to represent working families, protect our local waterways, and help build a vibrant downtown that works for everyone.
This campaign is for every Portlander who believes in the dignity of their neighbors and that the government’s job is to make our lives better. We should be preparing for the Portland of 2050 by investing in a strong social safety net while being a responsible steward of the taxpayer dollar.
I am a spouse, parent, and Capital Projects Manager at Portland State University. Portland is my home and it’s worth fighting for.
Care
Portland is facing overlapping crises of housing, addiction, mental health, and environmental neglect.
A city that allows people to live on the streets is failing its most basic responsibility. A city where the cost of rent has surpassed the minimum wage is no longer livable. These conditions are not inevitable and we must uphold housing as a human right.
Justice
Democracy only works when people are safe, housed, and healthy. True public safety means stable housing, access to treatment, and neighborhoods where working families can thrive.
To defend our democracy, we must rapidly expand treatment infrastructure, strengthen street outreach, and fight the environmental injustices that harm working-class Portlanders first.
Sustainability
Climate Change is the defining issue of our generation. Portland must address the contamination of our waterways, protect our urban forests, and shift away from fossil fuels.
We must continue investing in public transit, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and urban green spaces so every Portlander can move freely and live in a healthy environment.
Working Class Portlanders cannot afford to live in our city. I will fight to curb skyrocketing rent, utility bills, and taxes on those who are stretched thin in these tumultuous economic conditions.
I will fight to build a Portland that everyone can afford to live in.

We cannot depend on the Federal Government, so we will depend on each other.
Our campaign believes the government’s job is to make your life easier. We will fight to put power back in the hands of the people.
I am a husband, a parent, and a Project Manager at Portland State University. I believe city government should prepare Portland for 2050 by investing in a strong social safety net while being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.

I commit that if elected I will prioritize, introduce budget amendments, and vote in favor of full funding for expanded 24/7 citywide Portland Street Response coverage in every budget cycle.
We can create a safer Portland without expanding our police force. I pledge not to take contributions from police unions or associations, not to seek their endorsement, and to publicly reject their independent expenditures.
I pledge to put patients over profits and not take contributions from the executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the corporate health care industry, including private insurers, pharma corporations, and private hospitals who are organizing to take over our health care system.
I pledge to not take contributions from oil, gas, and coal industry executives, lobbyists, or PACs and instead prioritize the health of our families, climate, and democracy over fossil fuel profits. I am not for sale and neither is the health of Portlanders.
