COLLABORATIVE
LEADERSHIP

FOR PORTLAND

Hello Portland,

 

I might not make headlines like some of my colleagues, but I have always believed that real change is built on relationships, trust, and community. Bringing people together, sharing ideas, learning how to work together—this is the path to progress.

 

During my tenure on the City Council, our city has faced some of the hardest moments in our history: we have lived through a pandemic, seen too many of our neighbors struggle with homelessness and addiction, witnessed the unprecedented arrival of asylum seekers, and watched our democracy tested in ways we never expected.

 

Through it all, Portland has shown its strength in the compassion and resilience of its people.

 

While we have made progress to fix our production of affordable housing, and to rehabilitate and house people living on our streets, more needs to be done.

 

Solving these problems will require experienced, collaborative, and pragmatic leadership. This might not be flashy work, but it is the work I have dedicated my life to.

 

Let’s keep fighting for a Portland that lives up to its promise for every family, every worker, and every child.

 

With Gratitude,

— Pious

shared Economic Development

I will work to develop Portland's workforce by improving public education and supporting trade programs.

Supporting education

I will fully fund Portland’s public education system, which prepares young people from all backgrounds to participate in American democratic, public, and economic life. 

Expanding Democracy

Government works effectively only when the people it represents are fully engaged in the decision-making process from beginning to end.

Access to quality Housing

Portland needs more affordable housing stock. This much is clear: our city will not realize its true potential unless we stabilize housing prices.

Protecting OUR Environment

Portland's greatest wealth is its people and natural resources. Our own well-being depends of the health of our natural environment.
