United for Portland is proud to endorse Loretta Smith for Portland City Council in District 1.
Loretta is also endorsed by Portland Fire Fighters Association, Portland Police Association, East County Rising, Multifamily NW, Ironworkers Local 28, Revitalize Portland, Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors, Western States Carpenters, Teamsters Joint Council 37, and many others.
We all agree: Loretta will continue to be a strong leader for the city of Portland.
The Skanner newspaper also endorsed Loretta. Here's what they had to say:
We previously endorsed Loretta Smith in her 2020 run for city council based on her broad range of experience in developing policy, her focus on youth employment, her strong commitment to education and dedication to safe and affordable housing.
As we embark on a new chapter of city leadership, we know a steady hand and a trove of professional and lived experience are essential. Smith’s many years working for U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) as a point-person for constituents, and her deftness at launching federally funded programs right here in Multnomah County, qualify her to co-lead the new district.
We are confident that Smith will center equity and opportunity in her district and city if elected.
