Why am I running for Portland City Commissioner position (2)?
Harold Two April 7th, 2008
I’m Harold C. Williams Two, a candidate for Portland City Commissioner position (2). Born and raised in the greatest city in the world: Portland, Oregon. I graduated from the school of champions, Thomas Jefferson High school in 1995. I received my BS in Early Childhood Development from Appalachian State University located in Boone, North Carolina. Currently I am President of CH2A & Associate Inc., a management consultant firm, vice chair of the Success Academy, a non-profit that serves low-income and at risk youth, and Board chair of PDX Confidential, a business professional organization.
I am also running for city commissioner of Portland to give a voice to small business, to the tax payer who believes they are not being heard, and to expose our children to our city government, its processes and its opportunities. We lose our young talent to other cities and states because many young people do not know what opportunities are available here in the city of Portland. “Imagine Portland without street signs. Imagine Portland with houses without address numbers. Outside of your neighborhood, you wouldn’t know how to get around. “Portland has phenomenal resources, services and opportunities; but very few people know how to access them.” My plan is to map out Portland city government and its services. This map will be simple and clear to understand.
I stand for access, accountability, communication, education and promoting the relationships between city government and the citizens of Portland. We must remove the things that divide and embrace the things that unite.
Now, to that opening question…why am I running for Portland City Commissioner position (2)?
She is the reason.
“For what we do today our children will hold us responsible tomorrow…”
