PORTLAND
CAN DO
HARD things.

I'm a mom of five, a renter, a car-free transit rider, and a public servant with a decade of real results in housing, transportation, and community stability. I know how city government works and I know how to get things done.

We’ve accomplished really hard things before, and we can do it again.

About Jamey


I'm running to deliver for D4 the way i delivered for the city.

For the last decade I've worked inside Portland's city government on housing, tenant protections, transportation infrastructure, and helping the city navigate its biggest structural transition in a generation.

I wrote the Relocation Ordinance that keeps displaced renters from falling off a cliff. I created FAIR Access in Renting to get more families into housing. I created PBOT's first gun violence response program and its first ever anti-displacement framework for project planning. And when Portland undertook its most significant government restructuring in decades, I joined the team to help the city actually get it done.

I've built an office from scratch, managed a million-dollar budget, and led coalitions through hard things. My record as a public servant has given me the experience and the relationships needed to deliver for District 4.
