Our people deserve safe streets, access to parks, and to not have to travel far for work, shopping, or recreation. While Ashton has made progress in his first term, there is much more work to be done to reverse decades of disinvestment to better provide for the people of East Portland & East County.

My first term ends next year, but there's still so much to do. We're working with partners to build more housing, improve services for those experiencing homelessness, and provide dignity and self determination for East Multnomah County. We've made strides, but I know the work is far from done!
