PIOUS ALI
City Councilor
#TOGETHERFOR
PORTLAND
shared Economic Development
I will work to develop Portland's workforce by improving public education and supporting trade programs.
Supporting education
I will fully fund Portland’s public education system, which builds equity and prepares young citizens from all backgrounds for participation in American democratic, public, and economic life.
Expanding Democracy
Government works effectively only when the people it represents are fully engaged in the decision-making process from beginning to end.
Access to quality Housing
Portland needs more affordable housing stock. This much is clear: our proud city will not realize its true potential unless we stabilize housing prices.
Protecting the Environment
Portland's greatest wealth is its people and natural resources. Our own well-being depends of the health of our natural environment.
