Political Action

Industry Votes 2008

In 2008, over 80 local officials in the Portland metro area - mayors, city councilors, and county commissioners -will be up for election. These are people who make crucial decisions on issues that affect your business such as business taxes, development fees, and the availability of land. The only way our industry can ensure that we have a voice in these decisions is to actively support and elect pro-business and pro-housing candidates.

If you have any further questions or would like to receive vouchers with the following information to handout with your employee paychecks, please contact Misty Slagle.
