Steph has worked for safer, better streets for over 15 years. As the former executive director of Oregon Walks, she fought for safe routes to school for families and walkable/rollable neighborhoods where people can age in community and with dignity. Steph has served for years as a Portland Planning Commissioner and an advocate for abundant housing and a shelter-to-housing continuum. She is eager to serve on City Council, so we stop wasting time pointing fingers about problems and start working relentlessly on solutions.
