Nolan’s Record at Metro
When Portland needs big results, Mary Nolan delivers. She pulls together bi-partisan coalitions to challenge “the way things are”. She convenes people willing to ask tough questions and demand rigorous, timely answers.
For three years representing you — Northeast Portland, Maywood Park, North Portland, NW Portland and downtown — Nolan has already delivered significant improvements:
New budget guidelines that improve effectiveness of programs
Championed highway projects and design that simultaneously reduce greenhouse gases and congestion
Opposed the 1960’s era thinking still too often applied to interstate highway planning
Helped pass a renewal of Parks & Nature levy to protect investments in green spaces and habitat
Supported programs to make the Expo and Performing Arts Centers welcoming for events and audiences that reflect the diversity of Portland
Nolan’s skills, passion, experience and ability to bring people together have improved Portland’s landscape and livability in tangible ways. She is exactly the leader we need on Metro Council to help make Portland a place where everyone thrives.
Portland needs real solutions and proven leadership.
