Vadim Mozyrsky
RPC endorses VADIM MOZYRSKY for Multnomah County Commission because he's a leader with courage and common sense!. Vadim is an experienced attorney, an outspoken advocate, and a long-time neighborhood leader in Goose Hollow. But he's also been involved with RPC since day one! With Vadim, he doesn't have to reach out to the commercial real estate community, he is already here...engaging with our members and building coalitions to respond to the issus weighing down our economy and our livability.
As a downtown neighborhood resident, Vadim has lived the challenges of the last few years and yet, he shows up, again and again, to push for more common-sense solutions that will actually move the needle. As president of Goose Hollow, Vadim brings a no-nonsense, but well-informed approach to tough issues, like our fentanyl epidemic, crime, safety, livability, and homelessness.

Sam Adams
Multnomah County District 2 voters have two very solid choices on May 21st for their County Commissioner and our board ultimately decided two give the nod to TWO candidates: Sam Adams & Jessie Burke. With both candidates, we believe they will be agents for the kind of urgent, pragmatic, and outcomes-oriented leadership Multnomah County needs.
What threaten’s Portland’s future? Increased drug activity and use, addiction, the proliferation of unsheltered homelessness, significant structural challenges for law enforcement, & dirty, unsightly streets. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the vibrancy and attractiveness of our city center. We believe that both of these candidates are equipped to challenge the status quo at the county. Read More

Vince Jones-Dixon
https://www.vincejonesdixon.com/
Vince has deep roots in Multnomah County, growing up in a large family and working during high school to support them. Before becoming a Gresham City Councilor in 2020, Vince worked deeply in the community ans a funeral director. He tragically lost his brother to gun violence in 2013 and has turned that grief into motivation for community service.
Vince's has local government experience in bolstering public safety, tackling the underlying issues contributing to community violence, and enhancing support systems for vulnerable populations. His strategy emphasizes collaboration, bridging various agencies, and nurturing transparent communication channels between the government and its citizens.
Vince walks the talk about the need for collaboration and working across barriers. We like that Vince believes in public private partnerships and will work collaboratively with the private sector in advancing the East County. We believe Vince will bring real-world experience, a strong motivation for inclusive economic and community development, and be a strong voice for the East County on the County Commission.

Nathan Vasquez
https://www.voteforvasquez.com/
RPC endorses NATHAN VASQUEZ for this office because he is an experienced prosecutor who will take action on crimes - large to small. He will return the concept of consequences for crimes such as graffiti, smashed windows, vandalism, & blocking sidewalks & doorways. Nathan is the better-suited candidate to enforce the reforms to Measure 110 made in HB 4002. But, perhaps most importantly, Nathan has engaged with our members and been willing to meet with us on the issues that are weighing down our economy.
What threaten’s Portland’s future? Increased drug activity and use, addiction, the proliferation of unsheltered homelessness, significant structural challenges for law enforcement, & dirty, unsightly streets. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the vibrancy and attractiveness of our city center. The harmful actions of the current DA is leading to businesses, hotels, and visitors being driven away from downtown. Read More
