HBA Supports School and Public Safety Measures in Next Month’s Election


The 2019-2020 election cycle is in full swing, with elections in our region right around the corner on November 5th. Over the past year, HBA’s Government Affairs Committee identified and prioritized key jurisdictions within the region where we will focus our political engagement and financial support (through our political action committee, Oregonians for Affordable Housing) efforts in the cycle. Following this prioritization, the Government Affairs Committee began the process of evaluating candidates and measures in our target jurisdictions.

You can find a list of HBA’s current endorsements here. We encourage you to join us in supporting King City’s Police and Public Safety Local Option Levy and West Linn-Wilsonville School District Levy & Bond Proposal. Both measures provide critical resources to communities that are in the process of supporting new housing and growth. Both entities have a strong track record of fiscal responsibility and dedication to providing world class public sector services. Our communities are strengthened with good public education options and a robust public safety resources, which is why we support these initiatives. You can join our efforts to support pro-housing candidates and measures both locally and at the state level this election cycle by contributing directly to Oregonians for Affordable Housing and joining our Government Affairs Committee. Contact Ezra Hammer at ezrah@hbapdx.org for more information on both.
