How does Rene Gonzalez plan to become the strictest mayor on the West Coast in terms of enforcing public camping and drug use laws? And what’s his plan for keeping Portland “healthy, beautiful, and safe”?
These are just some of the topics we’ll cover with the city commissioner in Episode 6 of the Stump Talk podcast.
Elected to Portland City Council in 2022, Rene Gonzalez is currently serving his first term. Until recently, he oversaw the Portland Fire Bureau, the Bureau of Emergency Communications, and the Bureau of Emergency Management.
A business attorney by profession, Gonzalez is the founder of a law firm and a technology consulting company. He played a leadership role in establishing Oregon’s largest soccer club, United PDX, and was a key organizer for ED300, a political action committee focused on reopening schools during the pandemic.
