Elect Chris Olson to Portland City Council, District 2

Help me reach 250 donors to unlock $40,000 in public funds for my campaign! 

My name is Chris Olson and I'm running for Portland City Council in District 2 (N/NE Portland).

I'm a community organizer who has worked in the non-profit sector for over ten years and volunteered on progressive voter registration initiatives and local campaigns.

I’ve got a clear plan to make Portland work for everyone.

My plan has three key areas of focus:

1. Housing and Economic Justice

2. Transportation and Climate Change

3. Community Safety and Development

Specific policy proposals include an Urban Trail Network of protected bike and pedestrian paths, and a Renters Bill of Rights requiring landlords who raise rents over 5% per year to offer relocation assistance. 

I have signed the Save Portland Street Response pledge, vowing to prioritize, introduce, and vote in favor of full funding for Portland Street Response to operate 24-7 in every budget cycle. Additionally, I signed the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge, committing not to accept contributions of over $200 from the oil, gas, and coal industries, and the No Police Money Pledge, rejecting donations or endorsements from police unions or associations.

Join me in creating a better city and vote for Chris Olson in District 2!

As a grassroots organizer, I believe in the power of the people. That is why I’m participating in the city’s Small Donor Elections program. Your donation up to $20 will be matched 9:1. That means, $5 becomes $50. $10 becomes $100.
