City Council District 4
Meet the Candidates
Ice Cream social

Monday, September 23, 2024
Hillsdale Food Park
5:30-7:00 pm

This Fall voters will rank up to six candidates for three seats in District 4 (all neighborhoods in west Portland and a few on the east side). Join us for an informal meet-and-greet and get to know the candidates before you pick your six. And Enjoy an ice cream treat—it’s on us!

  • Get to know the candidates before you cast your votes.

  • All District 4 candidates invited; 16 have rsvp'd to say they plan to attend.

  • Learn about the new ranked choice voting ballots.

The Hillsdale News and SW Trails PDX are pleased to host this opportunity for voters to meet candidates for District 4.

This free event will be held at the Hillsdale Food Park on Monday, September 23, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The Food Park is located in Hillsdale at 6238 SW Capitol Hwy, near the north entrance to Ida B. Wells High School at the corner of SW Sunset Blvd and SW Capitol Highway.

The food carts will be open until 7:30 PM. The format is an informal meet-and-greet with ice cream treats provided courtesy of Basics Market.

With 30 candidates on the ballot for the three District 4 city council seats and two new ranked choice voting methods used, voters face a steep learning curve. In an effort to help voters connect to candidates, we have invited District 4 candidates to come meet area residents where we live and tell us about themselves and their plans for City Council. This is also an opportunity for voters in Hillsdale and other non-downtown SW neighborhoods to communicate their concerns and priorities to our future representatives.

A member of the city’s Government Transition Advisory Committee will be on hand to answer questions about ranked choice voting. 

Sponsors: Hillsdale News, SW Trails PDX, the Hillsdale Food Park, Basics Market, and Symbiosis Printing.
