It is an honor to serve on the Portland City Council, and to lead the professional teams at Portland Parks & Recreation and the Portland Housing Bureau.

In spite of a difficult budget season and tough times, we are making steady progress.

We secured full funding for the “Safety Net," opened new community gardens, revitalized and preserved affordable homes, honored Charles Jordan, strengthened key partnerships, and celebrated the success of Bud Clark Commons.

Thanks for all that you do to support our community. Enjoy your summer.
