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.
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?”
Yes. The new city council is going to need to undo decades of damaged caused by the commission system.
I've fought for years to bring financial transparency to our systems.
