Hi, I’m Patrick Hilton,
I’m Running for District 3 City Council
Now is a critical time for our city. As a passionate Portlander with a background in urbanism, architecture, ecology, and the arts, I’m here to bring fresh, visionary ideas to our city.
I believe it’s crucial to think long-term and to understand and address the root causes of our challenges with truth and curiosity.
By embracing holistic, human-centered, and innovative solutions, we can not only improve our city but also set an example for other cities as we face 21st-century issues.
Why I’m Running
I’m just a guy that has lived in Portland for a long time and is concerned about our city’s future. I believe that to save democracy we have to get involved locally first. What kind of Portland will we be handing off to the next generation? I think it should be just as good or better than the Portland I came to in 2007; A beautiful city that was innovative and created policy that was holistic and human-centered that attracted creative people that needed a fun, dynamic, and judgement free culture where they could create and share their gifts with their friends, neighbors, our country, and with the world.
I WILL ADVOCATE
FOR POLICIES THAT…
Affordable Housing
Create new paths to affordable homeownership and expand housing options for working Portlanders.
Local Business First
Support locally owned businesses and keep more of Portland’s money, jobs, and opportunity in our neighborhoods.
A Portland Worth Protecting
Portland’s strength comes from its neighborhoods, local businesses, public spaces, arts, and the people who give each part of the city its identity.
I want Portland to grow and evolve without losing the qualities that made people fall in love with it in the first place.
Protect Portland’s Character
Protect the neighborhoods, local culture, trees, historic places, and human-scale character that make Portland distinctive.
