Philippe Knab

Candidate for District 3

Why I am running

Hello, Portland. I'm Philippe.

I am an attorney with twenty years of socially progressive advocacy and policy experience. I am committed to tackling Portland's challenges with urgency and a practical, forward-thinking approach focused on best practices and tangible results. My background spans roles as a community organizer, trial lawyer, civil rights prosecutor, and program manager, all fueled by a deep commitment to equity, justice, and the idea that government should be a force for good.

Let's come together to make District 3 a reflection of our shared values: progress, compassion, and resilience. Together, we can build a community where solutions bring real benefits to every resident and every neighborhood sees positive change.
