Portland is at a turning point. As business owners and leaders, you see firsthand the challenges and opportunities our city faces every day. Now is the time to bridge the gap between the sidewalk and City Hall.

Why Focus on Districts 3 & 4?

The upcoming November elections for City Districts 3 and 4 are pivotal. These districts represent the heart of our urban center and its surrounding neighborhoods. The leadership elected here will play a defining role in the city’s economic recovery, safety initiatives, and long-term vision.

Meet the Candidates

We are honored to host several key candidates running for local office. Each group will have 15 minutes for a structured discussion and Q&A session, followed by an informal meet-and-greet.

Attending Candidates:

  • Portland City District 4: Olivia Clark and Eric Zimmerman
  • Portland City District 3: Kellie Torres and Nicole Tignor
  • Multnomah County Chair Candidate: Julia Brim-Edwards

Making an Impact

The purpose of this meeting is twofold: to provide business owners with a platform to ask tough questions and to explore actionable ways the private sector can help revitalize Portland. Whether you operate in the Pearl District or beyond, your voice is essential to this progress.
