MEET CIATTA THOMPSON

I’m a Republican who spent most of my adult life as a Democrat. I’m not running to turn Portland red or ask Democrats to abandon their core beliefs. I’m running because after years of working downtown, I’ve seen what happens when ideology matters more than results. We can support police and treatment. We can demand accountability and still have compassion. We can protect taxpayers and help working families. And we can disagree politically without treating each other like enemies. Oregon doesn’t need more partisan warfare. It just needs a government that works.

PORTLAND OVER PARTY

I am not running to be State Representative in Oregon’s 33rd District to serve a national Republican platform or any state political class. I’m running to passionately serve the People of HD33: the hotel workers, small business owners, renters, and families who are tired of being told that failure is acceptable.

I’m not asking anyone to change parties. I’m asking everyone to look at Portland, look at Oregon, look at the results, and decide whether you’re satisfied with the representation. Democrat, Republican, or Independent - if you believe Portland can do better, like I do, there’s a place for you in this campaign.

RESULTS OVER POLITICS

I am running on four clear promises: safe communities with enough police, firefighters, and real treatment for addiction and mental illness; an Oregon working people can actually afford through lower taxes, housing and childcare support, and a stronger local economy; a government that works with audits, measurable outcomes, and an end to blank-check homelessness programs; and fairness and trust through transparent institutions, fully funded public defense, and election processes voters can believe in. These are the practical results every Portlander is entitled to.
