PORTLAND
Portland's City Council District 3 candidate focused on IMPLEMENTATION
Portland is an inspiring and inspired city, full of good ideas. But we need more than good ideas. We need implementation. As a member of the City Council, Jon will spend every day pouring over every number and every detail to make Portland work. He will stress the details so you don’t need to.
About Jon
Also: Why is Jon so boring?!
The most boring nerd in Portland. A Southeast dad who loves his family and his walkable community. A public policy professional who's already delivered tangible results as a financial regulator for the Oregon Health Authority. A history of progressive activism focused on RESULTS.
Why vote for Jon?
And why Jon is a good “second choice”
Portland does not lack for good ideas or good intentions. The people of Portland are generously willing to fund numerous, well-meaning ideas to help others. What the city lacks is a focus on how to turn good ideas into good outcomes. That is why the city needs me: I will always ask, “How will we make this work in practice?”
Issues
A vision of shared prosperity
I’m a progressive who wants a government that can help its people. My goal is sharing the wealth -- but to share the wealth, there needs to be some wealth to share.
We need to make Portland a city people want to live in. A vibrant city, full of businesses, restaurants, people and artists. A city that provides great services at all levels. A place people feel comfortable starting a business and having a family. If we can’t make Portland work, people will leave. If people leave, there is no way for the city to pay for the services to help others.
