Juan Carlos Gonzalez

I am honored and excited to share that I am running for Metro Council President. ⚡️🌲

I love Portland Metro with every fiber of my being. I believe we live in the greatest place in the world — and I believe our best days are still ahead. Together, we can forge a Greater Portland where everyone belongs, where young families can plant roots, where elders thrive in their communities, where Oregon businesses boom, and where we build the big things that change lives for generations.

My agenda is simple: to grow a region where anything is possible. That begins with reframing how we approach our economy, our governance, and our ambition.

I am ready to bring urgency and vision to deliver the outcomes our region needs: affordable housing and pathways to homeownership, clean energy that powers the future economy and the jobs that come with it, infrastructure that meets the needs of the 21st century, preserving our clean air and water for generations to come, and an unapologetic commitment to shared prosperity.

As a new father, I’m seeing our region with new eyes. I know the status quo cannot deliver the future my daughter, your children, and our grandchildren deserve.

I’m proud to launch this campaign with the support of more than 100 endorsements from elected officials, business owners, community leaders, and people who love this region.

I hope you’ll join me in this endeavor — and in embracing what’s possible for our great Portland Metro. Election Day is May 19, 2026. Full steam ahead. 🌹
