Council District 4

Michael Trimble is a candidate for Portland City Council in District 4 (West Portland and the Reed, Woodstock, and Sellwood-Moreland neighborhoods).

Trimble is an assistant leasing consultant with a background in office and administrative work. Born with a disability caused by the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe in his native Russia, Trimble is a disability and transit advocate who frequently participates in local bike races on his adaptive bike. He unsuccessfully ran for Governor in 2022.

Trimble’s priorities include increasing the affordable housing stock and strengthening renters’ protections, supporting bike safety, promoting a living wage and healthcare benefits for workers, and expanding the use of involuntary hospitalization for individuals experiencing mental health or addiction emergencies.
