Deborah is committed to the values we share as a community and as human beings. During a time in which national leaders use fear and hateful rhetoric to divide us as a county, Deborah stood with fellow Multnomah County officials to ensure our neighbors are safe and valued here no matter their race, religion or immigration status.

While our community changed in many positive ways over the last three years, Deborah is focused on tackling our toughest challenges. Too many families in our community are faced with soaring housing costs and meager wages. We must find new, creative ways to help those families make ends meet – and we can only accomplish this if we commit to making affordable housing a top priority.

Perhaps more than ever, we have the opportunity show our state – and our country – what hard-working people can accomplish when they focus on what really matters. We can’t always change what happens in Salem or DC, but we can make a difference here at home.
