Priorities

#1 FOR PORTLAND CITY COUNCIL

Make Portland a better & safer place for everyone!

Housing & Homelessness

Advocate for affordable housing:  seek federal resources and reduce local barriers by expediting city permits and reducing development fees for affordable housing.

Homelessness is inhumane and unsafe.

Crime & Safety

Make our City safe by removing street camping and public drug use while providing more emergency shelter beds, mental health services, sobering stations and drug treatment. 

We cannot tolerate what’s happening on our streets.

Emergency Response

Ensure my 9-1-1 call gets an immediate and appropriate response— whether it is an EMT or Portland Street Response or Police. 

Police must focus on real crime & theft.

Climate

Build a climate-resilient Portland.  Ensure our water, sewer, and street systems are ready for the devastating impacts of climate change—-warmer temperatures, drier summers, and extreme weather events.

    At a moment when Portland needs effective and coordinated action to tackle the challenges facing our city, we could not ask for a better member of the Portland City Council than Olivia Clark.”
