Councilors Morillo, Avalos, Dunphy and I put forth the Keep Portland Housed spending package, which makes massive investments to both prevent immediate displacement and lay the foundation fora permanent public alternative to the City's housing crisis. Here's what Keep Portland House includes:

What an amazing week for our city. Between passing the historic Keep Portland Housed package with my Council colleagues, and Council unanimously passing Inner Eastside for All to build more housing in Portland’s inner eastside, including Sellwood in D4, we're on a path to solve our housing crisis.

This might be a moment we look back on as the beginning of something beautiful

I voted no today on an ordinance that authorizes $525 million in water bonds. This issuance is part of a broader debt management strategy to finance the water filtration plant. I’d like to share my reason for that no vote.

How would "Keep Portland Housed Work?" The package includes vital interventions aimed at preventing displacement before it occurs and building permanent public housing assets for Portlanders. It proposes major investments in tools like rent assistance and eviction protections that keep people housed now, as well as cost-effective long-term programs like rent buy-downs and property acquisitions that will move us towards a social housing model that can provide high-quality, permanently affordable housing for all.
What's next? This Wednesday, April 15, will be the second reading of the Spring budget adjustment where council can pass the entire budget adjustment, including the Keep Portland Housed ordinance. Tune in, or sign up to give written testimony at the link in our bio. Stay tuned for updates.

Rep. Muñoz has been a leading force for immigrants in Oregon and Co-Chair of the BIPOC Caucus of the Oregon House. If reelected I will continue to join her in the same struggle for education, housing for all, and dignity for all in City Hall. (2/2)
I’m honored to be endorsed by Representative Lesly Muñoz. Rep. Muñoz has been a champion of socialist leadership at the state level, and we are all lucky to have her fighting to safeguard Oregonians’ rights with policies like the Protect Your Door Act. (1/2)

Changing the name of my staff meeting to Project Oversight
“Top city officials have held a weekly “Project Mt. Hood” meeting since at least early November focused on a taxpayer funded renovation of the Moda Center, currently estimated at $600 million, according to a review of public calendars.”
Not doing just a bit here: my office will be moving forward with some oversight on this.
Here’s why: fundamentally, we changed our form of government to move away from backroom dealing on matters of public interest. Using code names for recurring meetings like this runs counter to transparency.
that makes sense. That simply does not work. Preschool for All will put money in the pocket of every parent of a 3 and 4 year old in the county, and every early childhood educator that will finally make a living wage. That’s how we get true affordability and success for Portland. (3/3)
Candice introduced the term “Kindergarten rich” – that working families whose kids start kindergarten and are for the first time not paying for childcare or preschool feel rich in comparison. When you consider that the monthly payment is often like a second mortgage or rent, at a minimum, (2/3)

Blue text on playful yellow background: "FRIENDS OF PRESCHOOL FOR ALL CANDIDATE PLEDGE As a candidate for public office in the Portland Metro area, I pledge that I will be a strong advocate for Preschool for All, Multnomah County's landmark universal preschool program, by doing everything within my power to: Carry out the will of the voters by ensuring a free preschool spot for every 3 and 4 year old in the county whose family wants one, as soon as possible. Retain the funding model that was resoundingly approved by county voters 2 to 1. Reject any further delays in fully funding the program and support the full tax rate as approved by voters. Advocate and vote against ANY actions that limit the program or reduce it. Base decisions on what Preschool for All needs to succeed on input from program staff, providers, advocates, and early childhood education experts — not conservative lobbyists with little knowledge of or interest in early childhood education and helping families of all income levels thrive.
✨Time to introduce a true Preschool for All champion - @mitchgreen.bsky.social!
In his time in office, Mitch has thoroughly debunked the myth that free preschool forces rich people to leave. As an economist he knows that young families are worth investing in! 🌱💰💛
