Sarah’s Supporters

Thoughtful, well-researched policy positions on police demilitarization. She consistently centers BIPOC in her statements, and not herself.

Sarah truly sees and understand what Portland really needs and has a plan for how we can achieve our goals

Sarah shows up against racist policies and police brutality. This new mayor will bring confidence, kindness, and safety to all.

She represents the change we need.

It is time that Portland defund the police and invest in community driven initiatives. Sarah will get us there.

She has a good combination of wonkiness and zeal, and her responses to the current protests are vastly superior to current "leadership."

Sarah has stood for civil rights and community activism for many years and she will continue to do so for years to come.

She’s done the work. She’s a vocal advocate for everyday people.

Sarah protests with the people of Portland and unabashedly stands up for basic human rights and compassionate public policy!

Sarah is exactly the kind of proactive, progressive, community-oriented leader Portland deserves.

Sarah will give us the first step in addressing systemic racism in our city. It has failed our black residents far too long.

Sarah isn’t full of empty platitudes like so many others. She has a concrete plan to demilitarize our streets. I trust Sarah’s judgment.

Sarah’s commitment to reforming and defunding the PPB means that she is the only candidate we can trust to end police violence and brutality

Sarah has made me excited about local politics in a way I never have been. She leads with compassion and intelligence. I trust her.

Sarah has consistently been on the right side of things, her positions align with those of most Portlanders!

As a lifelong resident who hopes to someday raise a family here, I trust Sarah to cause changes my future grandchildren will be proud of.

I'm endorsing Sarah because she is truly THERE for the people of Portland. She stands for equality, the environment, and a better Portland.

It's important to elect those who listen and take the time to understand the people in their community.

Because she pledges to reform our police department

While Ted Wheeler was using the police to terrorize protesters in Portland, where was Sarah? She was on the streets with the people.

Think about if Sarah were mayor during the BLM protests instead of Ted Wheeler.

Great values

Because we need effective police oversight.

Sarah supports re-allocating PPB budget and prioritizes people over property at protests. Her climate policy is comprehensive and wholistic.

I think Sarah understands that people want a city they can be proud of and that works for all people.

Sarah’s lens is intersectional and we need this. I’ve lived here for over 20 years and I’m ready to see a true representative of Portland.

I’ve lived in S.E. Portland for 13 years and Sarah is always involved and a part of the community.

I think Sarah will represent all the things that have made Portland a great City.

Sarah actually shows up for the community.

Sarah genuinely cares about progressive policies and is willing to fight for a better and brighter Portland that we all can be proud of.

She understands that systematic change is more than just rhetoric. She's ready to walk the walk, and Portland deserves better than Wheeler!

Opposed calling in the National Guard during protests

I think Sarah genuinely cares about the community—about the economically disadvantaged, and about racial justice that we need in this city.

I knew Sarah when I was a kid, she has a strong calm presence and believes in/will fight for a better Portland. We need her leadership NOW.

Sarah has shown up for her people time and time again - especially in moments when our city needs strong leadership the most!

Sarah's vision for Portland restores its place as a leader in environmental and transportation issues, and starts leading in justice as well

She relies on narratives, science, and data to form her best solutions - and then executes.

We need leadership that actually cares about people suffering from poverty, racism, & houselessness.

In the midst of the crack down happening in our city we need a mayor who sees the police as an instrument of peace, not violence.

We need someone who does more than pay lip service to social issues, we need action for everyday Portlanders, not just Elite in the Pearl.

Sarah supports the people of Portland, not the police

people over profits

She will advocate for the houseless and police reform.

Sarah gives a shit. And I like that.

I appreciate her criticism of ted wheeler as well as her focus on helping the houseless population and minorities. POLICE REFORM!!

There needs to be fundamental change. I asked myself a simple question which was "Are we better off now then we were 4 years ago"? No....

Sarah represents bold change when it comes to climate and equity, something Portland has stood for in the past and can stand for again.

I believe Sarah has a clear understanding of how Portland works and what it needs, and the will to make it happen.
