“After watching their heartfelt advocacy for years, I know that Jess Falero will make an excellent City Councilor. In fact, I have a hard time imagining a candidate who would bring more thoughtfulness and relevant lived experience to the position. I support them fully in their campaign.”

“Having served on the Portland City Council myself, I know how important it is to have a diversity of perspectives at the table. Jess would bring a viewpoint that has never been represented on the Council—one shaped by firsthand experience navigating systems that too often fail the people who need them most. As Portland confronts rising housing costs, homelessness, and growing inequality, that perspective is not just valuable; it is essential. Jess has the empathy, insight, and determination to help build a city that works for everyone.”
