TL;DR:
Meet District 2 City Councilors Elana Pirtle-Guiney, Sameer Kanal, and Dan Ryan on Tuesday, March 4 at 6:00 PM at the Alberta Rose Theatre. This City Club of Portland event is a chance to hear how Portland’s new form of government is going and what’s ahead. Register here.

Hi neighbors! If you’ve been curious about how Portland’s new 12-member City Council is working — or you simply want to connect directly with your District 2 representatives — this is a great opportunity to show up, listen in, and take part in the conversation.

What’s Happening

The City Club of Portland is hosting “Portland, Meet Your City Councilors!” — a four-part panel series happening in each district across the city. On Tuesday, March 4, from 6:00–7:30 PM, District 2 residents are invited to gather at the Alberta Rose Theatre (3000 NE Alberta St.). Doors open at 5:30 PM.

Why This Conversation Matters

In 2024, Portlanders made history by electing a new City Council under a new form of government. Now, with one full year of service completed — along with the appointment of a new City Administrator and the election of a new Council President and Vice President — this is an important moment to reflect.

What’s working? What’s been challenging? And where is Portland headed next?

The evening begins with a moderated panel featuring questions submitted during registration, followed by informal time to connect directly with your councilors and neighbors. Whether you’ve been closely following city government or just want to stay informed, this is a welcoming space to learn more and be part of the civic conversation.
