Jessica Vega Pederson is a mom, Oregonian, and Multnomah County Chair.

In my final year as Chair, I will be laser focused on:
1. Strengthening our homelessness response
2. Ensuring Preschool for All delivers universal access by 2030
3. Centering the needs of diverse communities, even as an authoritarian federal administration attacks our neighbors

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Serving as your Multnomah County Chair has been one of the most challenging and meaningful experiences of my life, second only to that of being a parent.

After a lot of reflection and heartfelt conversations with my family, I’ve decided not to seek another term as Chair.

Thank you @BrianEttling for all you work in getting me and so many other #ClimateAction candidates elected!

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Thank you, Multnomah County! Your belief in positive change made this possible and now we're ready to get to work!

Our next @multco chair needs to be able to bring together a broad coalition to tackle our community's greatest challenges. I'm the only candidate in this race with such a record, with thousands of people - community members, labor, advocacy orgs. & publications on #TeamJVP.

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Today is the last day to vote- make sure to turn your ballot in by 8 PM. A vote for JVP is a vote for a proven leader and a progressive path forward. #TeamJVP

Tomorrow is Election Day! And today’s campaign door of the day has us chuckling, because we couldn’t call first, but appreciate the opportunity to drop by.

Get those ballots in tomorrow if they’re not already. Vote JVP!

Thanks to @carmelitapdx for her support!

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Local elected officials and activists support me because I show up for our community. I've worked to pass legislation that positively impacts daily life in Multnomah County for all who live here. As your Chair, I will fight for a better future for Multnomah County. #TeamJVP

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Thanks to @SamanthaGladu and @christel_writes for their support!

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

Tomorrow is election day and JVP is the only candidate in this race with the experience and widespread support necessary to be successful as your next Multnomah County Chair. #TeamJVP https://t.co/iQi7clujC9

Community leaders support me because I have advocated for policies that support underrepresented communities in Multnomah County. I have a track record of listening to community members, rather than corporate interests, and working on behalf of every citizen of Multnomah County.

[Jessica Vega Pederson @JVPforOregon]

As a latina elected official, I know how important it is to center the voices of BIPOC communities in the decision making process. I am proud to have the endorsement of organizations fighting for racial justice. We will work together to support BIPOC and immigrant communities.
