With the city under tremendous financial pressure, Adams cut costs aggressively... managed to accomplish great things. He implemented curbside composting, expanded the city's bicycle infrastructure, and led major civic improvements, such as securing the Timbers and Thorns a bigger stadium, without giving away too much of the public's money.”

Adams is the obvious choice for this position. He is a strong leader... As we look to the future, we believe Adams will bring innovative, big- picture thinking to the council, which is very much needed. Adams outstrips his opponents in experience, knowledge and his ability to get things done.”

What Portlanders Are Saying

“He shows up, again and again, he’s out in our community, he listens more than he talks, asks questions, offers ideas, takes feedback, respectful, gets things done, monitors progress, keeps at it.”

“Sam deepened and grew WRI's climate action research and educational work in the United States and beyond. At a time when this country needed it most, Sam and his team, with evidence-based research and recommendations, pushed back on those that sought to dismiss the root causes of our collective climate crisis. And as co-manager of the launch of America's Pledge, he showed how cities can and should step up their climate actions efforts.

“Sam was a driving force behind getting critical funding helping get people off the streets and into recovery, offering treatment beds for people with both addiction and mental health issues. Hundreds of people have gone through this program with a significant number of them clean and sober today. This happened because of Sam’s leadership and tenacity.”

Former Director, Portland Service Coordination Team*

“Sam encouraged me and supported me in 2004 to run for Portland City Council, he said he would not run for the seat if I did. He kept his word. He only jumped into the race after I decided not to run. Sam has been a big supporter of women and equity at all levels in our community.”
