Letter to the editor: People First Charter candidates will represent working people’s interests
Share
As a young person living in Portland, I love this city and struggle with how hard it is to live here. The cost of rent exceeds what most jobs are paying. I am glad rent control and the minimum-wage increase passed last fall, but these are small steps toward what is truly needed.
That is why I plan to vote for the candidates recently endorsed by People First Charter. People First understands the struggle so many working people are experiencing and I trust they have done their research on who will best represent us on the Charter Commission, just as they offered the ballot initiatives the city wanted last November.
