Fellow Portlanders,
We live in a wonderful place, but m ore than ever, Portland needs an independent Auditor who answers directly to the public, provides a strong voice for government accountability, and works to ensure that limited tax dollars are spent wisely and well. I will continue to be that brand of Auditor for Portland. Thank you for your support!
