Today is an absolutely glorious Fall day here in Portland. It could not be further from this federal administrations depiction of our beloved City.

I was proud to stand with local leaders today to say in unity that military intervention is not wanted, not needed, and not lawful.

For families experiencing homelessness, having a safe and welcoming place to stay can be the first step to long-term stability. Creating more options for families is a priority of mine, and I’m glad we’re working quickly to fill a critical gap in East County for those who need shelter and support.
