Ready To Make Decisions For Portland:
Create a well managed budget that reflects our community’s priorities. Maintain and improve services through better management and oversight.
Make our schools a top priority now. Plan for responsible investment to save on energy and maintenance costs and create quality environments for learning.
Attract and retain investment in our community. We need to protect and leverage our unique assets to sustain our quality of life, grow the tax base and increase investment in Portland.
Keep our residential base strong. Support quality open spaces and recreational facilities, and invest in continuous neighborhood sidewalks and safe crossings.
