I’m writing to endorse Atiim Boykin for Portland’s District 2 City Council representative.
Atiim will bring a fresh perspective and a unique skill set to the City Council. He has more than 20 years of experience in mental health and social services. He’s committed to equity, listening deeply and working collaboratively.
Atiim also understands the importance of building community and fostering relationships. He and his family have organized a neighborhood block party for several years. This is such an important gift in this era of increasing isolation and loneliness. Atiim is also the only candidate who has pledged to hold regularly scheduled conversations with constituents, in person and via Zoom, to hear and respond to the concerns of fellow citizens.
Atiim is smart, compassionate and energetic. He will work tirelessly to address the challenges we face. He has my enthusiastic vote for District 2 representative.
