An opportunity to connect in-person with Portland’s mayoral candidates

We are pleased to be hosting an intimate evening to listen and discuss the priorities and vision of Portland’s candidates for mayor in the upcoming November 2024 election.

The second candidate to grace our auditoriums will be Rene Gonzalez on August 6th at 7:00pm. The entire hour-plus evening will be with a single candidate (Rene) to engage and share with you his vision for Portland. We have extended invitations to Keith Wilson, Mingus Mapps, and Carmen Rubio. If you wish to hear from any other mayoral candidates, please encourage them to reach out to us.

There are still a few seats available, so if you’d like to attend, please come to the theater by 6:45pm tonight.
