Kyle Prosen - treasurer for DitchMitch, goPDX, and fix multCo, all funded by the United for Portland Action Fund - seen here in a video with Portland City Council candidate Kellie Torres that says, "Vote the DSA out of office." Candidates ought to be transparent and honest about their views.

In 2022, Portland voters approved the first major overhaul of city government in over a century, including expanded representation and ranked-choice voting. Those reforms reflected a clear choice by voters. Any desire or proposal from our leaders to reverse them deserves careful scrutiny.
