East Portland is on the cusp of amazing things. Let’s guide it on to its next great chapter together.

East Portland is on the cusp of amazing things. Let’s guide it on to its next great chapter together.

A POLICY MIND, READY TO LEAD ON DAY ONE

I’ve been working in public policy for 14 years. I’ve learned how to get real results out of Portland’s complicated bureaucracy and I’ll be ready to lead in this new system of government. We can’t afford to have the next Portland City Council learn on the job. We need action and progress right away!

I have years of experience building coalitions and collaboration across governments on complicated issues, and getting laws passed that brought real solutions. I refuse to accept the usual response of how it’s “someone else’s job”.

It’s my job to get results.

I love Portland. This is my home and where my wife and I chose to raise our family. But along the way we’ve lost some of what makes Portland special.

Let’s find Portland’s voice again.

JUST LIKE PORTLAND, I’M SO MANY THINGS

Living in Portland has allowed me to live a lot of different lives. I’m a dad and a husband. I’m a musician and an artist, a backpacker and wilderness lover. I was small business owner and a long-time public servant. For 20 years I’ve been serving the people of East Portland, fighting to improve the lives of individuals and the broader community. I’ve worked with incredible public servants who showed me how government can be a tool to make people’s lives just a little easier. I love this place. And like you, I believe that our best days are yet to come.

LET’S AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF PORTLANDERS TOGETHER

Just like Portland, a campaign can take shape in different ways. I want to bring as many people from as many neighborhoods as possible as we build this campaign.

Whether you like to give money and fundraise, talk to your neighbors, have a band play at a party in your backyard, create art for social media, there’s a place for you on Team Jamie.

Because we’re fundraising using the new Small Donor Elections program we need to talk to as many voters as possible to qualify for the next round of funding. I’d love your help with that too!
