Dwight Adkins & Bob Speltz invite you to support Juan Carlos González for Metro.
Juan Carlos is running for re-election to continue representing District 4 at the regional Metro Council.
We are one region. Despite the many differences that make us human, we are united in our pursuit of happiness and purpose. We all need things like: clean air and fresh water, a roof over our heads, a living wage job, a safe route home, and a sense of belonging.
As our region grows and continues to change, we need to re-elect leaders like Metro Councilor Juan Carlos Gonzalez that are focused on addressing the deepest disparities and inequalities that have long left many behind. We can no longer afford to invest in the status quo and expect different outcomes to the challenges we face. The status quo is what left Black, brown and Indigenous communities on the outskirts of economic prosperity, wealth building, and the democratic process.
We need leaders who will take action to address the root causes of our economic and social inequality. Locally, this means taking on houselesness, lower housing affordability, growing commute times, economic development and climate change while centering communities that are hardest hit.
The Metro regional government oversees land use and transportation planning, regional parks and trails, a regional housing strategy, garbage and recycling and key environmental initiatives. As a Metro Councilor, Juan Carlos Gonzalez has represented Washington County at the regional decision making with bold leadership and ideas, recognizing we can’t go back to business as usual. In the last 4 years Juan Carlos has led rapid expansion of affordable housing, investments to our community corridors like TV Highway and taken bold steps towards climate action in transportation and recycling.
We need to be all in as a community, leveraging the diversity of our voices and experiences to come together and make a brighter future. Just as we did in 2018 when we first elected JCG, we can walk further along this new chartered path for Washington County and our region.
Together we can build an Oregon we can all call home.
For our future, por nuestro futuro.
