Meet Jess

Hello, I’m Jess Falero and I am so excited to be running to represent you in Portland’s City Council. I have been a community organizer in the city for over a decade and have led many large scale campaigns. I have been involved at the city, state, and national levels to advocate for local issues during that time. I have the skill set, passion, and determination to do the job efficiently and effectively. 

As someone who not only experienced being unhoused as a youth, but also a former social worker and healthcare provider, I bring a necessary voice to the table on some of Portland’s most complex issues. 

I look forward to meeting you all during the campaign trail so we can envision and build a Portland we can all be proud of, together. 

Your candidate for at-large, 
Jess Falero

Jess stands on a red brick walkway that leads to a home. They're wearing black pants, and a multi colored vertical striped shirt over a black long sleeve shirt. They're smiling as they hold a black umbrella over their head. Jess Falero on the campaign trail.

Jess is running as a Clean Elections candidate. This means only Portland residents can make a donation of $5. These campaigns keep big money out of our elections. Make your contribution here!

This is a graphic that is a banner size. There is a black background. It says "Jess Falero" in large, white text and underneath "for Portland City Council At-Large" in smaller text that is light purple. To the left there is an icon of two human figures holding protest signs that are also light purple.
