Meet Melodie

Melodie Beirwagen has loved Portland her entire life.  She grew up in Oregon City and moved to Portland upon graduation from high school.  She feels it is increasingly difficult to run a business and raise a family and sees the City government as an adversary, when it should be an ally.  She is running for City Council on behalf of hard-working Portlanders and small businesses.  For nearly ten years she's worked as a repair technician at Amphead, a SE business near her home that builds and repairs (mostly) guitar amplifiers.  She's lived in SE Portland with her three children her entire adult life and is proud of the fact that all of her professional experience has been in the private sector.  She earned a BS in Chemistry from PSU while working and raising her children.  Additionally, she's been an active member of the Portland music scene, playing in numerous rock bands, over the past 30 years.  She never planned to run for office, but it quickly became clear that there was nobody running who represented her and her community.  Her priorities are to better support small business owners, reduce wasteful spending, increase the ease of travel for everyone (most importantly, NO tolls!!), and make our city safer.
