Why Run for Portland City Council?
Portland’s city government will look dramatically different starting in January 2025.

We Support Portland Teachers
The Multnomah County Democrats support the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) in their decision to authorize a strike. PAT members have been working at Portland Public Schools without a contract since June. Their requests for lower class size limits, higher compensation, school building conditions and other measures are reasonable and will benefit students.
