Accountable & Effective Government

A person stands at the front of a bar speaking to people seated at long tables.

We deserve accountable and effective government.

We need an effective city government that is responsive and accountable to the people of this City.

Portland For All believes addressing our dysfunctional city government is long overdue. Nearly six in 10 Portland voters recently approved major reforms to our city government.

In 2025, city staff will be managed by a professional city administrator, and the council will expand to 12 members, elected by district with ranked-choice voting. This is the first step to having a government where Portlanders across the city are represented and have their voices heard. Implementing these critical reforms as the voters intended is the first step in ensuring an accountable and effective city government.
