Our Portland is a thriving city that every one of us has a part in creating - community activists, neighbors, workers, youth and seniors, students and educators, Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, White, Latinx, Middle Eastern, ...
Pacific Islander, African, Slavic, multiracial, able and disabled, queer and trans, citizen, resident, and undocumented, gendered and nonbinary...
every last one of us… has an important role to play in making Our Portland the city it deserves to be. The city we all deserve. The city our children deserve and that the future requires.
Our Portland is a city where we take back the streets for the people, for mass transit, for racial, social and environmental justice.
Our Portland is one where we strive for excellence, not settle for mediocrity.
Our Portland is one where we strive for excellence, not settle for mediocrity.
Our Portland is a city that is weirdly successful, at a time when this nation has been on a years-long decline.
I want Our Portland to be a city that people look to and say “wow, isn’t it weird that Portland is doing so well? Isn’t it weird that people in Portland are so happy with their quality of life?
Isn’t it weird that Portland is in a renaissance, while other cities are losing their global competitiveness?”
And as your Mayor, I’ll be able to tell them: it isn’t all that weird. It’s just Our Portland.

I want to ask you for three things.
First of all, I need your vote. If you want details about the policies and plans I’ve alluded to here, they’re on my website at Sarah2020.com. I am ready to go on day one with the community by my side.

Second, we need your enthusiasm. There’s a whole lot of bad going on in the city, and there’s a whole lot of noise because people are fed up with it and demand change. I’m with you, and I’m vocal about it - even when it gets me in trouble. But I need you to step up, too,
and tell everyone you know that you’re voting for Sarah Iannarone to take down Ted Wheeler and put a stop to the madness that’s taken over Portland this last few years. This is no time for Portland Polite. It’s time to turn our collective voices up to 11, and demand change.
And finally, as much as I wish campaigns ran on unfettered optimism, in reality they run on people power and money. If you have time, we have an amazing field team ready to plug you into this movement for police accountability, climate justice, ...
and transformative policy that moves Portland ahead. I can’t do this without you. We’re going to win this campaign the way we do best: powered by a grassroots community, with an unrelenting optimism that this City’s best days are in the future.
Let’s make this a city that works for everyone, not just the business interests who want to see this campaign end, and Ted Wheeler re-elected. Portland, this is our chance. We've got this. Be healthy, be well, be safe." - Sarah in #StateofOurPortland
