"Please ask Jim Labbe to step down from Participatory Budgeting.. He evicted black renters on Albina with family money.. He refuses to admit this was gentrification, and he worked with reporters to sell the news as "aging apartments". We don't need leaders like Jim in the DSA or any liberal agenda.. He can apologize and help in non leadership roles.."

"I’m thrilled to back Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane — an absolute powerhouse of smarts, heart, and grit who shows up for Portland every single day. Tiffany transforms the conversation: pushing for safe, thriving schools, housing that really works, climate solutions that protect our kids’ future, and public safety rooted in care and dignity. Tiffany brings authenticity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to equity — and she makes you feel seen and heard. On a personal level, she was my son’s teacher, and the impact she had on him was truly life-changing. As the Eco-School Network, representing tens of thousands of Oregon students, parents, and educators, we are proud to stand with her, because Tiffany is helping build the Portland we dream of."
