Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and Concordia University Co-Host Two Mayoral and City Council Candidates Forums
The first event will focus on community livability issues such as jobs, transportation, safety and other necessities for thriving, healthy communities for all. The second will focus on a range of education issues, from Pre-K through to Higher Education.
What are the issues that matter to you? At the forums, community members will be invited to share their own questions and concerns. Questions that are not addressed on the spot will be compiled and given to the candidates with a request to provide written responses. All responses will be shared with the public. Please join us to share what matters to you and to show that North/Northeast Portland Votes!

Note: The King NA formally requested that NECN invite all candidates to participate in its forums; NECN declined to do so. King NA then requested informally that NECN invite all candidates to at least attend the forums, so that residents in our neighborhoods could meet them.
