"Secondly, this administration ran on strong, progressive convictions around increasing housing opportunity, strengthening tenant protections, helping our houseless neighbors, swiftly ending our use of fossil fuels and moving to 100% renewable energy, reforming the police bureau, to name a few," says Howard. "We were elected on those convictions. That's what Portlanders expected then they overwhelmingly elected us in a very crowded 15-way primary back in early 2016. And then the administration abandoned many of its convictions."
