John's Mission

John believes that Portlanders know what’s best for Portland. For too long though, the voices of the many have been drowned out by the voices of the loudest few.

The beating heart of John's campaign is a commitment to collaboration, including all stakeholders in the decision making processes that impact them. Only when all relevant perspectives are heard and valued can we find common ground, and only on common ground can we blaze the bold trail to the eminently livable, equitable, and thriving future our city deserves.

 Collaboration is useless however without the establishment of trust, and trust must be earned. Through the continued practice of transparent communication, proactive community engagement, and equitable practices John will empower voters year-round to actively participate in the processes of government, leaving no one in the dark and earning your trust as a true steward of District #4.

 His strategy then is a simple one: Understand the needs of those represented through continued outreach and voter empowerment; support reforms and legislation that reflect those desires; and iteratively reassess progress transparently, building trust and collaborating with key stakeholders every step of the way.
