Oh no @mitchgreen.bsky.social has my phone number and he's texting me asking for more money (meager donation sent). Going to have to work out the details on the quid pro quo. I'm thinking a cushy diplomatic post. mitch4portland.com

Donations from Portlanders as small as $5 make a huge impact and help me qualify for the city's public matching program. The city will match up to $20 and that $20 is now worth $200. If you can't donate, please help me share the word. Here is my website:

I'm running for council because I'm tired of the cynics who spend their time tearing Portland down, while kicking real solutions to our problems down the road. My goal is to get 100 new small donors to my campaign by the end of the week. Can you help?

Healthy, Plentiful, and Affordable Housing It’s no secret Portland and many other U.S. cities are deep in a housing crisis, but we didn’t get here overnight. Portland needs more affordable housing — whether you rent or own. We need to help move people experiencing homelessness into stable housing with adequate services, and we need help for people at risk of eviction to keep them housed in the first place. Portlanders deserve a city council that will fight for healthy, plentiful, and affordable housing. On City Council I will use my expertise as an economist to fight for policy that makes Portland a place people can afford to live and thrive.
Safe and Compassionate Communities We’re in a livability crisis. A lot of folks are finding life harder now than they remember it being, and there’s a real sense that we’re headed in the wrong direction. Even so, we’ve made good choices in the past and we ought to stand strong in them. I believe we need to support innovative programs like Portland Street Response that make good use of our resources and improve safety for everyone. This also includes the ways we move around the city to reach each other and meet our needs: we should be building up, not tearing down, our city’s cycling and pedestrian safety infrastructure.
World-Class Environmental Leadership In recent years, Portland’s leadership on environmental stewardship and climate justice has faltered. We need to return to what made us a leader in the first place: following the lead of our residents. Portlanders overwhelmingly support climate policy that meets the urgency of the crisis. And that means electing leaders who will follow the lead of the community and fight to implement our ambitious plans instead of bowing to pressure from big polluters.
Standing up for Working Families Like a lot of families, mine moved to Portland because my father found work in the shipyards. My Dad was proud to be a union welder, which allowed us to thrive and for me to be the first in my family to get a college degree and pursue a life of public service. I’ve seen what happens when a city grows up with an economic boom. But, the good years were mostly enjoyed by the richest households in Portland while the rest were left behind — more so if you didn’t have a union. I believe we grow best when city leaders stand arm and arm with workers who fight better wages and benefits and center them with each vote on the council.
Portland is at a crossroads. The policy decisions we make now will define this city for a generation. We have an opportunity to keep building for the abundance agenda, instead of slipping into retrenchment. Will you fight with me?

"Like a lot of Portlanders I'm worried that the big, bold things we do in this town are at risk of being cut down early out of impatience and fear, precisely when we should be holding fast and nurturing them. I'm talking about things like Preschool for All, M110, a real commitment to solving the housing crisis, the Portland Clean Energy Fund and our transit and cycling infrastructure," Green says. "I wanted to make sure that people living in District 4 who still believe in the Portland Idea - that we can fight to build things that make our lives better - have a voice and someone who will champion them."
I’m in the Mercury’s District 4 Candidates page! This part right here gets to the core of what I’m about in this race.

And there it is! Fees, waived. Took less than a week from the first wweek report.
Note to council candidates: this a good subject area for oversight hearings in the new govt. Are *fees* doing anything to balance tree canopy and safety?
In the next few weeks, I'll be expanding my website with the issues that I'm running on, but for now I wanted to say that I'm in this because I believe the public sector can take a decisive lead in ensuring that we live with abundance around us. Not scarcity. No more zero-sum politics.
