OPP supports JoAnn Hardesty for Portland City commissioner

The Oregon Progressive Party has endorsed Jo Ann Hardesty in her race to be reelected to the Portland City Council. Jo Ann has a strong progressive record of substantive, impactful changes, including:

• Portland Street Response
  
  
• new standards of transparency and accountability via police reform measures
  
  
• major policy changes including zoning changes to encourage the building of new affordable housing (duplexes, triplexes and fouplexes) for all.

Jo Ann supports establishing a new public land trust to support affordable housing.

She is running as a clean money candidate by funding her campaign following the rules of the City of Portland Small Donor Elections program. She will take no special interest money. She will be our candidate and our commissioner.

Jo Ann recently sent this message to her supporters and the OR Progressive Party  to ask that you support her campaign:

“Heading into the General Election, we're still facing a tough fight. Our goal this June is to #MaxtheMatch, and I'm hoping you would consider helping out by joining our Small Donor Squad.  Squad members will be supported with materials and graphics to reach out to their friends & family with a target of raising five $20 donations. Portland donors will be matched 9-to-1, meaning $20 generates $200. Five $20 donations generates $1,000!

“Would you have capacity to join our Small Donor Squad? We're going to have a public launch next week. I'll be hosting a Zoom kickoff with the squad on Thursday, June 16th at 6:00 PM. It would be great to have you as part of the team. You can signup for the Squad by clicking here.”
