Priorities

Priority 1: Public Safety, Fix our Streets (pot holes, maintenance, General Security)

Problem

Traffic deaths and serious injuries are concentrated and predictable.

What Council can do

Pass policies that prioritize the highest-injury corridors and proven safety design standards.
Fund safety projects and maintenance in the annual budget.
Require PBOT to publish delivery timelines and before-and-after results.
Hold public oversight hearings when promised safety work is late or underperforming.

What I will do

I will push for quick-build safety packages on District 3’s highest-risk corridors, require outcome reporting, and insist on transparent timelines.

What success looks like

Fewer deaths and serious injuries, measurable speed reductions, and a public project list with clear timelines and results.

Priority 2: Budget and Basic Services (performance accountability)

Problem

Residents need stability, clarity, and reliable service delivery.

What Council can do

Adopt the budget and set priorities (what gets funded first).
Attach performance expectations to major spending and contracts.
Require reporting in plain language so residents can see results.
Use hearings and audits to correct course when spending is not producing outcomes.

What I will do

I will support a budget approach that protects core services, makes tradeoffs explicit, and requires measurable goals for major programs and contracts.

What success looks like

Clear public scorecards, more reliable basic services, and stronger accountability for spending.

Priority 3: Homelessness Response (humane, lawful, measurable)

Problem

People are suffering in public and neighborhoods feel strained.

What Council can do

Set city policy on public space standards and city response practices (within constitutional and legal bounds).
Fund city-side tools: outreach coordination, sanitation, safe and humane public space management, and shelter/navigation support where the City has a role.
Negotiate and oversee intergovernmental agreements and coordination with Multnomah County and Metro.
Convene functional coalitions so agencies stop working at cross purposes and start measuring shared outcomes.

What I will do

I will focus Council oversight on system throughput (time from contact to placement), transparent outcome reporting (access, utilization, exits), and clear, consistent public space standards paired with real outreach and follow-through.

What success looks like

Faster placements, measurable system performance, cleaner and safer public spaces, and reductions in unsheltered homelessness over time.
