Portland Reorganizes; Endorsement Meeting

Sellwood Public Library (7860 SE 13th Avenue)

In person, social may follow

Mark your calendars for April 27th, from 11 am to 1 pm at the Sellwood-Moreland Public Library. This will be the first in a series of endorsement and organizational meetings. Our focus will be on reviewing the endorsement process and beginning the evaluations of candidates, starting with District 2. 

Portland's adoption of a new government structure featuring 4 districts, 3 representatives per district elected using Single Transferable Vote (STV), and public financing of campaigns is a unique opportunity.

Local elected Greens & candidates

We are proud to announce that Marnie Glickman, a dedicated Green Party member, is running a compelling campaign for District 2. Let’s rally behind her and others who share our vision for a sustainable future.

Donate today to her campaign!  We are only 40 donations short of Marnie reaching the goal of matching funds.  Donations must be a minimum of $5 from Portland voters.

When elected Marnie will join a bidding number of green-elected officials, including recently elected Councilor Jai Raj Singh in Tigard.  Your participation is crucial as we support various campaigns, including Devon Lawson’s bid for position 6 on the McKenzie School Board and the Lane Education Service District Board of Directors.
