"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Robert F. Kennedy
I spent the last
decade
establishing
Ethos Music
Center to make
sure that every
child in
Portland has an
equal
opportunity for
a music
education.
I decided to run
for Portland
City Council
about a year ago
because I think
we need someone
in City Hall who
is looking out
for the little
guy.
Our campaign has
been extremely
active in the
community. We’ve
filled in
potholes, we’ve
renovated a
historic
building, and
we’re bringing
residents
together like
never before.
If you want
change in City
Hall, and if you
share my belief
that "Actions
Speak Louder
Than Words," I
would appreciate
your vote and
support.
Sincerely,
Charles Lewis
Candidate,
Portland City
Council Seat #1
