Dear Neighbor,

I’ve worked hard in my first two years on the County Commission to disrupt the status quo and get the County moving in the right direction.

I believe we want the same thing for our home community: a safe, affordable, and thriving place to live, work and raise a family. Our community has great strengths and is also under great stress. The challenges Multnomah County is facing are all around us: homelessness and addiction, crime, gun violence, the health and mental health stresses on our families, the struggles of our local small businesses and life’s basics becoming less affordable.

We have made some progress, in large part thanks to the support and actions of community members, neighborhoods, and local businesses. But there is a lot left to do, and I am asking for your support so I can keep the pressure on to fix our big problems and fight for the people and neighborhoods of our community.

Thank you,

Julia Brim-Edwards
