JULES BAILEY
We need a pipeline for jobs for young people
of color, which is why I have already started
working with the Emerging Leaders Internship
program and Commissioner Loretta Smith to
make sure there are jobs and job training in key
industries for young people of color.

Very doable! Somewhat difficult; because we
all have to, you know, study (includes reading).
I can assure you without a doubt! The results
are stellar!

We will ensure young people of color will
succeed by putting their parents into a position
for long-term and inheritable success. We will
build complete neighborhoods that improve the
conditions and quality of life for marginalized
residents, and refocus our policing habits and
culture away from the targeted law enforcement
and over policing of their neighborhoods. We
need food, homes, schools, and safe structured
opportunities available to all of our young
people. They need to live in the same Portland
as their white classmates.

SARAH IANNARONE
When you pay your gift and estate taxes
correctly, you will be thrilled with the
significant fiduciary results! I can prove
that quite succinctly.
City of Portland is not lacking in
diversity, but you could not tell this by
looking at how our city government
operates day-to-day. I will establish city
wide goals for diversity, equity and
inclusion in our municipal workforce,
procurement and contracting, economic
development, and civic engagement
activities. Our chief information officer will
be responsible for tracking this goal and
reporting our progress to the public in
easy to understand ways. We’ll make it
simple for Street Roots (and the rest of
Portland) to keep track of city government
promises in real time, not just once a year.
SEAN DAVIS
Our entire platform is focused on this
very topic, and I hope you do more than
check every year. We need community
leaders and publications in the city to hold
our elected officials’ feet to the fire. If I
win this election it is going to happen
because of our redistribution of political
power through City Council reform and our
“Home Court Advantage” plan that helps
residents retain, gain and invest wealth
into their communities, and gives them
protection from gentrification.
BIM DITSON
This is the same promise that I make to
all Portlanders. Ipromise to promote
accountability from city government,
accountability from corporations, and to put
community leaders in positions of power
instead of political insiders. No more fox
guarding the hen house. These promises
are meant to be broad and inclusive of every
area. I will function as mayor based on this
commitment: any action that diminishes the
quality of life of a Portlander for a profit is
an act against the city of Portland.

How will you ensure young
people of color will succeed in

I promise to the city’s people of color a
visible and expedient transformation in the
reduction of social justice issues that
plague communities of color through 1)
quarterly community meeting, 2) police
DAVID SCHOR
I promise that I will respect the diversity
of our community, and always seek-to
deepen my understanding by keeping lines
of communication open. I will be proactive
in seeking input from people of color, and
in finding ways to integrate a diversity of
viewpoints in all city processes.
JESSIE SPONBERG
I rarely use the word promise as part of
my campaign, but I’m sure I will continue
being an active accomplice with groups like
Don’t Shoot PDX. Too many politicians
make promises to communities of color. I
would prefer to reflect on my consistant
past efforts - in the streets - as a
reflection of the type of candidate I will be.
TED WHEELER
I will work to increase the percentage of
minority- and women-owned businesses
that receive public contracts.
BIM DITSON
I believe that in any neighborhood, city or
country, the most critical thing to realize is that
we’re all reliant on each other, and better for it
I am greatly concerned with narratives that
divide people. When we talk about success, we
should not be splitting people apart by defining
it comparatively and by gauging it against our
past We should be talking about what our ideal
baseline of success is, and then ensure
everyone has the opportunities to get there.
This is what I will do for all Portlanders
through community empowerment and access
to the same quality of education and economic
opportunity by ensuring that the people in
power are community leaders who reflect the
future, not political insiders who reflect the
systemic failures of the past
DEBORAH HARRIS
I will ensure young people of color will
succeed in Portland by revisiting prior
effective programs and entertaining new
programs that deliver effective mentoring and
training to enhance areas in education, jobs,
parenting, career aspirations, and retaining
and expounding on granted gifts. Young people
of color will succeed because federal funds
allocated to states and city government for
such programs will be tracked and
unacceptable prior practices of the funds
being misallocated will not be tolerated.
Creating safer and healthier communities,
affordable homes and good paying jobs for
families of young people of color will enhance
an environment to want to succeed.
SARAH IANNARONE
Our young people of color (and girls for that
matter) don’t need any more programs. We can
educate and train kids all day long to be a part
of the workforce, but how can we inspire them
to reach toward leadership positions within that
workforce? How can we empower them to
redesign the landscape of their communities -
of our community - for the future? They need
real life success stories of people who look like
