Kellie Torres has given Portland 21 years of community-centered service, decency, and professionalism. Our recovery is real but fragile, and we need proven leaders like Kellie with an indisputable track record of success. Kellie was instrumental in the creation of our Safe Rest Villages, which have been transformational to the safety and livability of our community, as well as the public-private partnerships that make our city beautiful and welcoming. When the community calls, she has always been there for us.

Endorsing Kellie is a statement that Portland is moving forward into our renaissance, and we’re not looking back.

Former Governor of Oregon Barbara Roberts

Kellie Torres possesses much needed long-term local government experience.

She has a demonstrated record of hard work and outcomes for our community.

Multnomah County Commissioner

For over two decades, Kellie Torres has delivered for East Portland, and I've seen it firsthand. While others made promises, Kellie was on the ground working with neighborhoods, families, and local businesses to create safe, accessible, free places to play, walk, and connect with nature. That's not rhetoric. That's a twenty-year track record.

Portland needs trusted leaders who know how to collaborate and get things done. Kellie Torres is that leader. I'm proud to endorse her. District 3 deserves a champion like Kellie.

Former Portland City Commissioner

I am proud to endorse Kellie Torres. I know her well. During our years at City Hall, she and I debated nearly every kind of issue that comes before City Council. We did not always agree, but I always found Kellie to be fair, honest, competent, guided by evidence, and unfailingly prepared. She understands how city government works, how to bring people together, and how to turn good intentions into results.

Electing Kellie will make Portland better. She has my vote.

Former Commissioner Mike Lindberg

Founder, Human Access Project

For years, Kellie Torres has been one of the people inside City Hall who didn't just listen to big ideas—she rolled up her sleeves and helped make them happen. 

Together, we've worked to make the Willamette River more accessible, welcoming, and joyful for Portlanders. Kellie understands that great cities are built by saying 'yes' to community, removing barriers, and creating public spaces people love. 

That's exactly the kind of leadership Portland needs on City Council.
