Make a Ripple!
"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."

We did it!
Thanks to your
hard work and
support, we made
it into the
general
election run-off!
This race would
not have been so
tight had it not
been for an
incredibly
talented field
of candidates.
Jeff Bissonnette,
our nearest
competitor,
called to
graciously
congratulate
me. Jeff ran a
strong campaign
and his
leadership has
made Portland
and Oregon a
better place. I
would also like
to thank Mike
Fahey, Chris
Smith and John
Branam for their
participation in
this historic
campaign.
I called Amanda
Fritz last night
to congratulate
her on making
the run-off as
well.
I'm really
looking forward
to the
general election
and our efforts
to highlight the
issues that
matter most to
Portland
residents.
The next five
months will be
an exciting time
for our City.
Thank you in
advance for your
continued
support.
Sincerely,
Charles Lewis
Candidate,

Council Seat #1
