Portland — if you’re wondering why your city continues to decay, look back to 2021. That’s when the legislature, led by then-Speaker Tina Kotek and Democrat leadership, passed HB 3115 — a law that forced Oregon cities to allow homeless encampments in parks, sidewalks, and other public spaces. This law effectively granted a "right" to live on public property, stripping local governments of the authority to maintain clean and safe communities. And now, under HB 3115, cities can even be sued if they attempt to enforce basic public safety measures — including being required to provide ADA-compliant access to open-air drug camps. This isn’t compassion. It’s abandonment. We believe in compassionate accountability — helping those in need while protecting the rights of everyone to live in safe, clean, and vibrant communities. That starts with restoring local control and repealing the broken policy that is HB 3115. Join us. Demand the legislature bring HB 2432 to the House floor and return public spaces to the public.
