Text on a cream background with a "Mullen for Portland" logo, cartoon fireworks, and the following text: "Democracy is a contact sport. In America’s 250th year, we remain a country with immense suffering. What brings me hope are all of the people - together - fighting so not a single person is left behind. That means housing for all. Building wealth. Challenging systems. Climate justice. And much more. Let’s keep pushing."
Screenshot of 2026 Candidate Filing Application for Portland City Council showing it was flagged for "speeding" (completed the survey much more quickly than others) but that it took over an hour to complete, which doesn't totally make sense.
Image of a map of the Portland Metro Area with proposed upzoning changes near transit, with the following text: Conclusion: what would an actual proposal look like? After a while testing out different ideas in BYOTOD, here's my wishlist proposal: 6-8 story apartment buildings allowed within 1/2 mile of rail transit stops 4 story apartment buildings allowed within 1/2 mile of BRT stops 3 story apartment buildings allowed within 1/4 mile of frequent bus stops With an increase in zoned capacity of almost 4 million homes, this would be a dramatic upzoning that would immediately set Portland on the path to ending the housing crisis and also help support Trimet ridership in the long term. It would lead to modest upzonings in Salem and Eugene as well.
Screenshot of text that reads as follows: My name is Brandon Mullen, and I’m running for Portland City Council here in District 3! Our campaign is fighting for housing for all people, growing small businesses, reimagining how our streets look and function, and doing so with a collaborative mindset and practice. I’m running because I am a public servant. My 15 years in government – from management to policy development to process improvement to budgeting – and my study and work in leadership and organizational development have all been in service of making government work better for all people, but particularly folks who have traditionally held less power. Portland is in a unique moment with a new government, a budget crisis, and a hostile Federal government. Meanwhile, Portland is becoming more unaffordable, our roads are deteriorating, and people expect and deserve to see and feel more service and action from its local government. We need collaborative, results-based leadership now more than ever that focuses on the needs of working people. That’s what our campaign is fighting for, and what I will always fight for whether I’m elected or not.

Building a new neonatal intensive unit, he said, will require stronger finances to secure state funding, court big donors and borrow money for major construction projects. “The most difficult question will be the source of funding for such an ambitious project,” Elnahal said.
