Charles Lewis
announced his
candidacy for
Portland City
Council stating
that he believes
there “is an
on-going
struggle for
equality,
freedom, and
justice.”
Announcing on
the day that his
hero, Robert
Kennedy, was
assassinated,
Charles was
symbolically
picking up a
fallen torch to
help light the
way in his own effort to
help every
member of our
community have a
voice in
government.
“I have two
openly gay
brothers whom I
love very much,”
said Lewis.
“Growing up
together, I saw
some of the
struggles they
faced because of
their
orientation.”
"I don’t view
the world in
terms of
people’s
orientation,”
said Charles,
"only in terms of
what we all can
contribute to
the vitality of
our amazing
community.”
