If you haven't voted yet, #TeamSarah needs you to drop off your ballot before 8pm Tuesday.

Why should Portland vote for me? Let's break it down.

I'm endorsed by Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Karin Power, future Representative Khanh Pham, PPS Board Member Rita Moore, Mayor Mark Gamba, former Commissioner Loretta Smith and Steve Novick ... sarah2020.com/endorsements

plus PSU Professor Dr. Roberta Hunte, and hundreds of other community leaders. I've got the backing of Our Revolution, The Street Trust, Honest Elections Oregon, Portland Clean Air, and Portland Tenants United. sarah2020.com/endorsements

The Portland Mercury said in their endorsement, "Iannarone has given Portlanders an opportunity to turn Portland into the bold, progressive city it purports to be—both on paper and in reality." portlandmercury.com/election-2020/…

This campaign has been of, by and for the People of Portland, backed by a national movement for progress, and international movements for urban best practice. At its heart, it's about our shared vision of progress, #OurPortland, and the bold, ambitious agenda we set out to enact.

The Plan for Progress included releasing a detailed Rethinking Public Safety plan - and disinvesting in police violence - five months before the murder of George Floyd. Our COVID response demands led the state and city in publicly calling for a lockdown. sarah2020.com/policies

Our Housing for All plan has already pushed the current Mayor to adopt common-sense strategies on how we move forward. I am the first Mayoral candidate in Portland history to present a Disability Justice platform, one that people with disabilities crafted for themselves ...

and I adopted. I'm the first candidate to present a youth-led Gun Violence Prevention plan. I'm the only candidate running to enact a Green New Deal for Portland.

We've collected donations from more individuals, more than 4000, than any campaign in Portland Mayoral history. We collected exactly one donation of more than $250 - our first donation, from our first donor, Dr. Julian Bell - and refunded him once the campaign was up and running.

We're the first campaign for Portland Mayor funded by Open and Accountable Elections (OAE), our voter-approved program to keep corrupting dollars out of our political process. We reached the OAE fundraising cap nearly a month prior to Election Day ...

meaning our last three weeks have been all about voter contact, not about begging big donors for thousand dollar checks. We've got hundreds of active volunteers, and nearly a thousand people who have volunteered for the campaign at some point.

Those volunteers and our incredible staff have distributed 2,500 lawn signs by bike to every corner of the city. They've made somewhere close to 60,000 phone calls. They've sent nearly 200,000 text messages. They've answered thousands of emails and social media requests.

And what we hear from those endorsers, supporters, volunteers, & voters is it's time to elect a progressive champion as our next Mayor. Please, vote for me before 8pm on Tuesday. It's too late to mail your ballot - drop it in your nearest ballot drop box. multco.us/dropsites
