Hi, I'm Karen Pan, and I'm running for City Council. I believe in a future where no one is left behind, where every person, regardless of their circumstances, has a place to call home. Together, we can create real change. And that's why I'm a staunch advocate for a housing-first strategy. We must prioritize providing immediate housing and wraparound services for our houseless neighbors. We also need better collaboration between our police force and the community. By fostering understanding and mutual respect, we can ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. Let's reimagine the role of City Council, where young and smart leadership brings fresh perspectives to the table. Together, we can make Portland thrive. Amen.
