A Common Sense Progressive
I'm Ciatta Thompson and I'm running for Portland City Council District 4!
I am committed to revitalizing our city through bold initiatives and a clear vision.
I'm focusing on economic growth, addressing homelessness with transparency and accountability, and fostering a strong, inclusive community where every resident feels valued and heard. I am originally from New York City, and I've lived in various places across the USA before making Portland my home. Through my travels, I've gained a fresh perspective and a deep appreciation for American culture and community spirit. With a background in urban planning, travel, and logistics, I bring a clear vision and strong work ethic to my campaign. As a Common Sense Progressive, my goal is to move Portland forward by fostering a thriving, inclusive community where everyone feels valued and heard.
