According to the Portland Metro Chamber's own 2026 statements, more than 80% of its members are small businesses.

Chamber membership webpage: 75% of its for-profit business members are small, 20% medium-sized, and 5% large.

All DSA does is LIE LIE LIE about Metro Chamber!

@KATUNews And our local government can not solve any of the multiple problems driving people and businesses away! @MayorKWilson

Rank choice voting must go!!

[Portland Moderate. @pdxmoderate]

According to Miriam Webster, a coup: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group : COUP D'ÉTAT

But for WW, in Portland’s Orwellian leftist fantasyland, a political compaign based on policy differences within the electoral system is a coup.

Democracy would be simply putting the DSA members in office based on the politburo’s designations.

Willamette Week is becoming a joke but not as bad as Pravda on the Willamette Mercury which truly is the publicly relations and mendacious media arm of DSA.

Mitch survived, in spite of himself, his terrible policies that did not address, safety, mental health and homelessness, job creation and his blatant ignoring fire ban, & payment of his real estate taxes in a timely fashion for one reason only. RCV.

@RachelBitecofer Now tell us how to get the misguided DSA out of Portland!

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

Dear MAGA people,

Yall didn’t lose because Trump wasn’t on the ballot, he lost because he was.

The election results are shocking to you because none of you ever watch any actual news.

The MAGA ideology is toxicAF and for the 1st time Rs will be electorally more scared of losing for supporting Trump than they will be of Trump.

Could finally see the damn break.

@kevinvdahlgren Portland has had enough drug deaths

[Portland Moderate. @pdxmoderate]

The Portland DSA is celebrating its candidates’ election results, but there’s a rather significant detail missing from the victory lap: they didn’t add a single new DSA member to City Council.

What they’re celebrating is largely the preservation of the existing council lineup not an expansion of their representation or a new mandate for their agenda after pissing away $2 million + of taxpayer money and another $2 million of donations from fools ignorant enough to support their failed ideology that is driving away jobs, investments and making Portland more expensive and poorer.

Winning in a rigged rank choice voting system with incredibly low bar of 25% + 1 is not the same as winning seats, and claiming a political breakthrough when the composition of the council remains unchanged deserves a closer look.

Portland voters should look beyond the “victory” speeches and examine what actually changed: the council’s membership, its voting coalitions, and the policies it advances.

Life is inertia: you’re either moving forward or backwards. If you think you’re staying the same, you’re actually moving backwards.

DSA stayed the same.

They truly are a movement, a massive bowel movement of communism which will fail as it always has every time it’s been attempted. What clowns.

Thank you, Donald, for all of your hard work (i.e., incompetence, corruption, treason, and betrayal of the American people) in ensuring Democrats win in a way that will make your life miserable for the next two years--and make our lives better.

Portland and Oregon have an extraordinarily deep hole to climb out of, and we need to be honest about the magnitude of the challenge.

Our education system is among the weakest in the country, our combined state and local tax burden is exceptionally high, and government at every level has become increasingly hostile to business investment and job creation.

Reversing that trajectory will not happen overnight.

Even with meaningful leadership and serious policy changes, I believe it could take a decade just to begin restoring sustained job growth and investor confidence.

Then there's the real estate challenge. Portland has tens of millions of square feet of existing commercial space that must be absorbed, repositioned, or repurposed before the market can support substantial new development.

That is a long-term undertaking, potentially spanning decades.

Meanwhile, we're competing against states like Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas—markets that are aggressively pursuing employers, capital, and talent while Oregon struggles with its own structural problems.

Businesses and investors have choices, and they are increasingly choosing places where the economics, regulatory environment, workforce, and quality of life make it easier to succeed.

I would put everything I have into helping turn Oregon around. But having spent decades in real estate development and understanding what it takes to attract capital, create jobs, and build thriving communities, I don't underestimate the challenge.

This is not a public-relations problem that can be fixed with another task force or slogan. It is a structural economic, educational, fiscal, and cultural problem that will require sustained leadership and fundamental changes in priorities.

We need to move beyond a political culture that too often rewards grievance over personal responsibility, ideological conformity over practical solutions, and government expansion over economic opportunity. We also need to take mental-health and addiction crises seriously without confusing compassion with an unwillingness to address the underlying problems.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about the timeline. But unless Oregon makes some fundamental course corrections, I have serious doubts that we will see a meaningful turnaround in my lifetime.

The city of Portlands budget hole in 2027 will be $250M+… business license taxes in free fall, reduced real property taxes and highest reduction in single family home asking price of any major city in America, hotels selling at 90% discounts…

All brought to you by 40 years of shitty democrat (communist) policy and final nails in coffin of rank choice voting at 25% + 1 allowing DSA cosplay communist kids into office who have zero business acumen, leadership ability or common sense.

The economic chain reaction isn’t complicated: When people stop feeling safe, foot traffic suffers. When foot traffic suffers, businesses struggle. When businesses struggle, property values and tax revenues come under pressure. Public safety and effective behavioral-health services are not luxuries. They are foundations of a functioning urban economy.

Yet Portland’s leaders have too often treated enforcement, treatment, and accountability as though they conflict with compassion. They don’t.

People experiencing addiction and mental illness deserve real help, and everyone else deserves safe streets. A serious government must deliver both.

You cannot repair a damaged reputation with another task force, another slogan, or another tax increase. You repair it by restoring order, providing effective treatment, protecting commerce, and measuring results instead of celebrating intentions.

Compassion without results is an empty promise. Policy without accountability is an expensive failure. And a city that refuses to govern effectively should not be surprised when investors, businesses, workers, and visitors decide to take their money elsewhere.
