Portlands next Mayor

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Treatment & Substance Abuse Reform
• Foster Care System Reform
• Juvenile Justice System Reform

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

City Hall transparency ; creating avenues for youth to become more involved in local politics ; creating an Improved school district better suited for the students enrolled ; rebranding what "homelessness" looks like and getting rid of the stigma which comes along with it ; protecting equal rights to protest; holding Police Officials publicity accountable for mistakes via news media ; commending Police Officials for excellent work via news media ; creating committees focused on bringing sporting events to the Portland Metro Area such as the NBA All Star Game, NHL All Star Game, FIFA soccer qualifying events

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Family ; because that's where you first learn what your identity and values are but in the end as you grow up you learn who you are and who you were supposed to become

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Trust ; understanding ; being relatable ; humbleness ; honestly

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I'm a winner, and everywhere I've landed at in my professional career I've had major success. I have experience with dealing with high level clientele ( Portland Timbers, Portland Thorns, Timbers 2 ) While in that position I was trusted with confidential information on a daily basis, had to deal with a number of business professionals such as sports agent's, local and national media ( ESPN, Fox Sports etc ) and most importantly the team's family members. All of these things make me the most qualified candidate to replace Mayor Wheeler. None of the many other candidates can not offer nor match this kind of high level expertise and experience which I bring to the table.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Another Brick in the wall, Pt. 2 - Pink Floyd

A mayor is a leader in his or her city. What does that mean to you?

CITIZENS BEFORE SELF

Treatment & substance abuse ; foster care system ; juvenile justice system
