Tiffany Koyoma Lane for Portland City Council District 3
Councilor Koyama Lane has been a consistent and steady voice on the City Council since she was elected two years ago.
Recognized as a tenacious champion for District 3, she prides herself on her ability to work with any Council member to pass legislation that benefits Portlanders. And she is not afraid to take an unpopular stand on behalf of taxpayers.
Fighting for a good and fair Moda deal: Going against considerable pressure from Portland Mayor Wilson, Koyama-Lane has been the Council’s first and strongest voice for a fair Moda Center deal. She has pushed to open the process for public input and make sure this major decision isn’t rushed. She’s been firm in pushing for a good deal for Portlanders, and that it’s not reasonable for taxpayers to foot the entire bill.
She has championed economic justice policies: Relief for low-income households under the new Transportation Utility Fee, banning landlords from using algorithmic price-fixing technology to set rents, investing in a landmark study of social housing for Portland to help address the city’s affordable housing crisis, and reforming the Arts Tax to raise the income threshold to provide relief to low-income tax filers.
Koyoma-Lane fights for a more inclusive city: She helped pass Portland’s Sanctuary City status to strengthen protections for immigrant communities and defended the rights of queer and transgender Portlanders by updating civil rights code definitions to broaden protections for sexual orientation and family status.
Prioritizes street safety for cyclists and pedestrians: She led an effort to recommit Portland to Vision Zero goals and to establish a new citywide Vision Zero position, ensuring a clear focus on eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries.
What opponents say: Koyama Lane has been criticized for being too vocal at Moda Center and too fixated on finding common ground on Council. We have seen her find her voice in her position, and appreciated her standing in her power. Her role as a consensus-maker grounded in justice is essential on the Council.
Councilor Koyama Lane is endorsed by AFSCME Locals 189 and 75, Oregon Working Families Party, Portland Teachers Association, Democratic Socialists of America Portland, APANO Action Fund, Next Up Action Fund, and many other organizations and individuals.
Angelita Morillo for Portland City Council District 3
Councilor Morillo is the youngest member of City Council and has demonstrated she is a strong, independent, and effective leader advancing meaningful policy for people in District 3 and citywide.
She has been unequivocal in her support for the issues and communities she believes in. She is a clear voice on council, cutting through the noise to speak plainly about the crux of decisions. Morillo has been quick to call out what isn’t working and advance policy priorities that address it.
She has broken down key decisions to bring the public along: Part of Morillo's strength lies in her ability to educate Portlanders about the key issues of the day and help voters understand city government. She is an important counterweight to more conservative news media that cater to the interests of business leaders over working people.
Morillo is a housing champion: Despite considerable pushback from corporate interests, she led a ban on corporate landlords using AI fixed pricing to increase rent. She created a fund to buy housing units that permanently lock in affordability. Along with Councilor Green, she worked with her progressive colleagues to pass the Keep Portland Housed ordinance, which uses unspent housing funds for rent assistance, eviction prevention, and debt buy-downs to keep Portlanders in their homes.
Protecting our communities from abuse: She secured a Data Privacy Office to protect immigrant communities from federal overreach. She called out the abuse at Urban Alchemy, an out-of-state contractor that mismanaged city funds and whose staff was accused of abusing people living on its properties.
Fighting for a Portland that works for everyone: Morillo has successfully worked with conservatives, moderates, and progressives alike to pass policies to improve the lives of Portlanders. She demanded transparency on proposed Moda Center changes and pushed back on taxpayers footing that bill.
What opponents say: Morillo has been criticized for a pointed tone and for being too forceful on Council. We recognize the importance of wielding the power of the bully pulpit responsibly and building collaborative relationships in governance. We also recognize the double standard she is held to as a young woman of color and the moral clarity she brings in championing marginalized communities.
Councilor Morillo is endorsed by AFSCME Local 189, Portland Teachers Association, Democratic Socialists of America Portland, APANO Action Fund, Next Up Action Fund, Oregon Working Families Party, and many other organizations and individuals.
