ELECT SETH WOOLLEY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, GOOD GOVERNMENT, AND FOR GREEN NEW DEAL JOBS

"Seth Woolley is a whip-smart government wonk." —Willamette Week, 10/16/2012

Seth's approach to government is similar to his professional life: dig deep into data and records, look for significant problems, and propose and implement data-driven, popular solutions.

Before Seth's public record work at Portland Clean Air, there was no systematic or online mapped analysis of polluters across the Portland metro region. Neighbors only learned of air pollution discharges based on what they could smell, reports of failed reverse-911 phone calls, or bouts of investigative journalism.

The root cause of not regulating air quality with concern for public health was Oregon's system of unlimited political bribery in the form of big money campaign donations. Before Seth's analysis for Honest Elections, work to get campaign finance reform on the ballot, and active enforcement with official complaints and court filings, Portland's political campaigns were heavily funded by big money donors and special interests with matters before council.

Political staffers are often campaign workers reaping patronage instead of competent administrators. Portland's ethics rules remain weak and ineffective. Seth will appoint good government reformers to the Portland Charter Commission to help deeply fix public corruption and to reform our antiquated commissioner form of government.

POLITICS SHOULD BE ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND INFORMED BY OPEN DATA AND PUBLIC INPUT.

Commissioner, Position 4

Keith Wilson

Occupation: President, TITAN Freight Systems

Occupational Background: Supervisor, TITAN Freight Systems

Educational Background: University of Portland, MBA; Oregon State, BS; Portland Community College; Roosevelt High School

Prior Governmental Experience: Vision Zero Expert

Community Engagement: Transition Projects Rent Well Houseless Program Mentor; Youth Basketball Coach

In difficult times we need proven, committed, caring leaders, with vision and a record of success creating and sustaining large complex systems. That is who I am, and I’d be honored to earn your vote.
Let’s reTHINK Portland.

Keith’s Top Priorities Include HOUSING FOR ALL AGES AND STAGES

• Build Smaller and Faster: Deeply affordable micro units for those with limited means or who are downsizing.
• Lower Fees for Affordable Housing Builders
• Partner with Neighborhoods: Create Local Housing Plans

HOMELESSNESS

• Stop Normalizing Street Camping: It’s inhumane and unsafe. We must provide shelter with consolidated on-site services.
• Decriminalize Homelessness: 52% of all arrests in Portland are of homeless people. Establish a Homeless Court Program that channels people into programs not jails.

PUBLIC SAFETY & CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM

• Housing not Handcuffs: Employment, job training, and transitional housing for those coming out of incarceration. It’s the right thing to do and the most cost effective.
• Hate Speech Is Not Free Speech: Zero tolerance for violence masquerading as protest.

BOLD CLIMATE ACTION NOW

• Clean Fuels Now: My company uses Renewable Diesel reducing our carbon and dangerous emissions up to 60%. If we can, Portland can!
• Carbon Neutral by 2030: Convert all City of Portland vehicles to electric and carbon free fuels by 2030.

FOSTERING COMMUNITY BY BUILDING NEIGHBORHOODS

• Give More Support, Not Less: Neighborhoods are part of the fabric of Portland. They need more support not less, especially underserved and under-resourced neighborhoods.

Mariah Dula, Neighborhood Association Leader
Mark Johnston, Former Asst Sec US Department of Housing
Angus Duncan, Chair, Oregon Global Warming Commission
Chris Aiosa, Chair, Do Good
