12 for PDX

12 for PDX is a grassroots coalition representing a broad cross-section of Portlanders with the singular mission to identify and endorse the most collaborative and results-oriented candidates to the 12 new City Council seats in the Nov. 5, 2024 election. The coalition was formed to help Portland voters participate in this important inaugural election, navigate through an unprecedented number of candidates, and help ensure the new City Council reflects Portland’s majority. 12 for PDX was formed in May 2024 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan committee made up of 18 volunteers spanning Portland’s socio-economic groups, range of occupations and personal backgrounds, and include long-time Oregonians as well as newer arrivals.
