less talking,
More Doing.
“We’ll never change what comes out of City Hall if we don’t change who we elect to office. We need to start electing people who want to DO something, not just be something. That’s why I’m running for Portland City Council, District 4.”
I GET STUFF DONE. I have lived and worked in Portland for 28 years and I have something important to give back to the city I love.
Like most everyone I know, I’m frustrated at the failures of our elected leaders to take meaningful action on the problems all around us. Portland has no shortage of good intentions, but we need actual progress. Put me on Portland City Council and I will work to forge real solutions.
I believe in Portland and I believe our best days lie ahead of us. In 2024 we will elect a new, 12-person city council. These officials must bring practical intelligence, a cooperative mindset and most of all absolute commitment to making measurable progress, not just generating more talk.
As an architect, I create solutions to complex problems, make the most out of limited funds and work with diverse viewpoints to achieve positive results. These are skills Portland needs at City Council.
Most of all, I won’t sit by and do nothing right now. And neither should you.
In my architecture practice I design spaces where people want to be. I will bring this same creativity to the City by introducing effective policy, proactive solutions, and a clear, community-focused vision for Portland’s future.
I am running in Portland’s new City Council District 4 that includes all residents on the West side of the river plus Sellwood-Moreland, Reed and Eastmoreland. I’m of course asking for your vote but really, much more than that. All of us need to think about what we can do to unite this city and move it forward. I know that if enough of us work together, we can get Portland back on track. I hope you’ll also consider urging your friends to join us in this campaign. The future of Portland truly starts today.
Ben Hufford, Architect
