Mike is a great human, a committed citizen, the kind of voice we need on Council. His ability to see the reality of Portlanders forwt hand will bring a much needed reality check to our local government. Go Mike!

The city of Portland has a special place in my heart. Its beautiful houses, the nature around it and most of all the friendly and openminded people made me come back this year to stay for a while after visiting it in 2015 and 2018. It made me sad that downtown was not as vibrant as it used to be. Until I had the pleasure to spent time with Mike DiNapoli and the people around him. I went to his fundraiser in April and was impressed with the dedication he showed to each and every visitor and how he listened to their needs. All over the world, including in my hometown Amsterdam, people are getting more selfish and populists are gaining more and more territory. Hardworking, the characteristic that everybody mentions about Mike, I saw that about him too. Integrity and practicing what you preach are also in his DNA. He gives me hope for a better world. Starting with the chance I want him to have to reboot the Rose City!

I have had the great pleasure of working with and learning from Mike for more than 5 years. He is a natural teacher, leader and inspiration - his gentle guidance, deep compassion, keen intelligence and humble wisdom are desperately needed on our beleaguered City Council. Mike would be just the invaluable and powerful asset we need to finally jump-start the political scene into the land of justice, fairness and integrity. Mike qualifications are unimpeachable. And he is a very approachable, amenable, kind human being. He understands the value and importance of collaboration; of the art of listening. A vote for Mike is a vote for righteousness.

I, Ceylan Ergun, resident and fan of Portland, am in full support of Mike DiNapoli and his vision for our wonderful city, as they match the forward-looking, pacifist, yet practical ideas my circle has. I admire Mike for his integrity, honesty, and hard-working nature and believe he will be instrumental in helping rebuild the Portland we all miss and are so proud of. Mike is not just an idealist but someone who gets the work done. Which is hard to come by in politics. Mike comes with a versatile set of skills and experience that gives me the utmost confidence that he is the human for the tough job. He chooses to put his hand under the stone and fix things with a logically thought-out plan. I am also familiar with his close support system and I am certain the brain and work power around him are unparalleled. This will be his biggest asset moving forward. For the first time in years, I am feeling very hopeful for Portland.

Mike Dinapoli is an excellent choice for City Council. Mike will be the type of leader that will listen carefully to all sides of the issues that we are currently facing and will work hard to collaborate with his fellow council members to make the best choices possible for all of us.

Mike has been a friend and colleague for several years, and he is inspiringly pure of heart. He works hard, treats people right, and creates an environment where people thrive. Hes been in Portland long enough to know what to do to fix our problems, and he will absolutely get the work done. District 4 cant ask for a better candidate. Get this guy in office so we can turn things around!

Ive known Mike for over a decade and I can say without reservation that he is one of the hardest working, innovative, kind, and talented individuals Ive ever met. He would make an outstanding City Council member and I am honored to offer my wholehearted support to his candidacy.
