Hi, I’m Patrick Hilton,
I’m running for District 3 City Council
Portland is at a critical moment.
We need leadership that will help guide Portland
into a sustainable, successful future.
My Top Three Priorities as a City Counselor:
1) Focus on District Three and its issues first! Be available to our D3 residents and businesses and support our wonderful neighborhoods.
2) Protect existing affordable housing, local businesses, and our urban tree canopy in our vintage inner city areas from being demolished and redeveloped for corporate profit margins and lobbyist driven policies that have captured current city council and good intentioned residents.
3) Understand and deal with our current reality of loitering, littering, open drug use, and inadequate enforcement of our business district’s sidewalks and offer alternative options for those that have no place to go after shelters close in the mornings.
With a background in urbanism, architecture, ecology, and the arts, I bring fresh ideas and a long-term vision for our city.
By addressing the root causes of our challenges with curiosity, honesty, and innovative, human-centered solutions, we can build a better Portland and set an example for other cities.
Why I’m Running
I’m a longtime Portlander concerned about our city’s future. I believe protecting democracy starts with getting involved locally. I want the next generation to inherit a Portland as good as or better than the city I discovered in 2007: beautiful, innovative, welcoming, and full of creative people sharing their talents with the world.
I WILL ADVOCATE
FOR POLICIES THAT…
Create Real Affordable Housing
Create new paths to affordable homeownership and expand housing options for working Portlanders.
Put 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.
