Thank you for voting. Please consider me when selecting your choice for Portland’s next Mayor.
I feel that among the candidates, I have the best understanding of the community’s priorities and values regarding the future of our city. I possess the passion to lead us towards environmental and economic sustainability, while developing an effective model of urban growth and management.
Communication is the greatest responsibility of our governmental leaders, who are charged with both discovering and addressing the needs, concerns, and priorities of the community, while simultaneously inspiring individuals to be actively involved with the process. My communication style incorporates active listening, asking and soliciting relevant and meaningful questions, considering ideas from various perspectives, and clearly stating my decided opinion.
Once we have designed the future that we hope to create, as Mayor I will make day-to-day decisions that compliment that vision. I realize that political, economical and logistical realities sometimes force our city leaders to implement short-term solutions that may be contrary to our long-term vision. I will be available to field citizen’s questions regarding my motives, logic and reasoning by utilizing both private and public media sources and by personally engaging the community.
I will count on the citizen’s of Portland to participate in steering us towards an ideal future. To encourage involvement, I will empower individuals with a venue to express one’s voice while participating in the design and implementation of solutions.
A few of my ideas for enriching our community:
Ensure that all individuals have the ability to meet their basic needs
Design a holistic transportation plan that offers safe and convenient walkways and bikeways; a comfortable and convenient public transportation system that is faster, safer, and less expensive than cars
Develop a transparent, effective and just Community Policing Model
Support equal rights and respect for all people
