I believe the only way to create the change Portland needs is to prioritize equity, set concrete goals and allocate resources accordingly. With an $8 billion budget, we should be able to ensure everyone thrives. I will work collaboratively with the other council members–as well as county, state and federal officials–to achieve the following goals.

<h3>Fighting for Our Community</h3>These are some of the top issues our campaign is focused on. Learn more about our issues <a href="/issues" target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.

Mike's Priorities

IconCheckCircle1

by building 2000 more trauma-informed shelter beds within 18 months, prioritizing families, youth and elders, and reuniting homeless individuals with their families.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

Provide Shelter for All

by building four sobering centers, tripling detox capacity, and adding 1000 sober housing beds in order to ensure immediate access to care.

Slash the Addiction Rate

Establish a local government task force to evaluate ALL local taxes passed in the last 30 years and propose a ballot measure that reduces the total tax burden for lower and middle income Portlanders. &nbsp;

Implement Tax Reform

by reopening closed pools and opening new pools in more neighborhoods to eliminate long wait times for swim lessons.

Improve Access to Swim Lessons

by restoring Portland’s national brand, placing community safety officers in merchant districts, and enforcing city code requiring active ground floor use of retail spaces..

Promote REAL Economic Vitality

Hire 200 more police officers who actually live in Portland and expand Portland Street Response to operate 24/7.

Improve Public Safety

by reducing barriers to middle-income housing construction, allowing modular housing in every neighborhood, and reducing permitting costs of ADUs.

Make Housing Affordable Again

by piloting a minimum basic income program for families and older Portlanders.

Cut Poverty Rates

by incentivizing “home-sharing,” building 2,500 modular homes, and establishing a culturally responsive city-wide adult day care system.

Help Seniors Thrive

by making public transportation free and dramatically increasing the city tree canopy.

Mitigate Climate Change

by requiring that city employees work remotely no more than one day per week, implementing a constituent service system, and requiring customer satisfaction goals for city agencies.

<h2>I love Portland.</h2><h3>But - like many - I'm incredibly frustrated by City Hall’s inability to actually fix our problems.</h3><h3>We don't just have a homeless problem or an addiction problem or a crime problem - we have a 'can't-get-it-done' problem.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/c5f7e3ca-cdbc-4357-bd25-ae413019a942/81b9dd93-f49f-4193-a9a4-bc4eb1b2d1bd/81b9dd93-f49f-4193-a9a4-bc4eb1b2d1bd.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=35&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1286%2C857&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="42" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">As a person in long-term recovery and recognized expert on addiction, I get what needs to be done and believe I can bring a needed perspective to the new City Council.I understand that we need to implement concrete solutions like establishing sobering centers, expanding detox capacity, and increasing the availability of trauma-informed shelter and transitional housing beds. &nbsp; And while we solve the problems right in front of us, we also need to prepare our communities for climate change, get aggressive about building a vibrant, entrepreneurial economy for everyone, and restore a sense of safety in every corner of the city.Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by the philosophy “If you see something, don’t just say something. DO something!”&nbsp;<ul><li>When the Berlin Wall fell, I went to Eastern Europe to help activists build new democratic systems and advocate for free and fair elections.</li><li>When the religious right came for the LGBTQ community's aspirations to be married, I launched the nation’s first statewide campaign to stop them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>And as Oregon’s addiction crisis worsened, I co-founded Oregon Recovers, a statewide campaign to end the addiction crisis.</li></ul>I've mobilized the power of collective action to drive change, and now I want to bring that drive to City Hall on behalf of the 28 neighborhoods in District 2.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/c5f7e3ca-cdbc-4357-bd25-ae413019a942/2bbea7c9-7534-4f4f-8978-e3e27655b268/2bbea7c9-7534-4f4f-8978-e3e27655b268.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C230%2C540%2C409&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Portland is embarking on an exciting and transformative redesign of our democratic system. Each Portlander will now elect three of their neighbors to represent them in City Hall, and I believe the new system of representation provides us the opportunity to reconnect our elected officials to the day-to-day problems Portlanders face.I’m running to actively listen and represent the neighborhoods of North and Northeast Portland. I am running because I believe that my lived experience as a person in recovery and my career in policy and advocacy have prepared me for this work. I am running because I believe I have the expertise and ability to design, fight for, and implement innovative, effective solutions to the challenges we’re living with in the Rose City.&nbsp;I'd be honored to earn your support.
