Portlanders want good-paying jobs, not data centers. These facilities don't meet Portland's environmental and community values, and the data shows they do not produce the long-term, high-wage employment opportunities our city needs. 🧵1/4

Over the weekend, Portland saw multiple acts of senseless gun violence across the city. Here in District 2, my heart is with the family of 18-year-old Terrell J. Granberg — who was killed in the Cully neighborhood — as well as with the five young people who were injured in the same incident.

A centralized place for rideshare drivers to access employment-related resources will offer the support they need to succeed, stabilizing the rideshare workforce — and, as a result, the transportation system we ALL rely on. I am so proud that we received widespread support for this critical policy.

I came into this budget process with must-dos.   To fight for working families. To preserve the promises we made to voters in the Parks Levy. To identify pathways to compromise that move our City forward while budgeting responsibly.  I followed through on each of these commitments.

My amendments to the Mayor’s proposed budget take a realistic look at the tough landscape we’re in and make small, targeted shifts to support working families, invest in our workforce, and set us up for a more prosperous future, avoiding the short-sighted decisions that would set us back.
