PACKED house at our post election party celebrating the victory of our candidates @mitch4portland & @TeacherTiff4PDX — big energy to gird ourselves for the fight ahead!
So excited by the early results we are seeing so far! Nothing final yet but 5 of the 12 candidates in a position to pick up a seat on Portland City Council are supporters of a Renters Bill of Rights! Our organizing has paid off 😤❤️🔥 @PortlandDSA
Notable that the two candidates endorsed by @PortlandDSA — Koyama Lane & Green (on the city's westside!) — are in strong positions right now to win seats.
DSA put an unrivaled ground game behind both of them, while most campaigns struggled w/ volunteers.

If we just had a sanitation department they would clean sidewalks and pickup trash and without the whole shakedown local businesses and use tax dollars to harass homeless people part.
Reason 5: Some candidates know what they’re talking about and some candidates definitely don’t. When we began the cleanup for downtown Portland and other areas across the city, we did so by neighborhoods, small businesses, and enhance service areas coming together! These candidates who are running against neighborhoods and against the interests of small business have no place in our next City Hall. ***All talk and no action.***

Council is voting to extend for *10* years the Downtown Clean & Safe contract ahead of the election. This ensures a decade of public money flows into the Portland Business Alliance’s coffers to fund their ongoing lobbying with the city. It’s a huge conflict of interest 🚩
