Community Engagement

Jake Mead for Hillsboro City Council

Staying Engaged and Accessible

Your voice matters to me, and being accessible to each and every constituent is a priority. I will hold monthly coffee chats at different locations across the city, providing an informal setting for discussions, feedback, and concerns. For those who wish for a more formal setting or specific concerns, I will ensure there is an open calendar day, making myself available for one-on-one discussions.

Handling Disagreements

When it comes to handling disagreements, my approach is rooted in respect and understanding.

At the end of the day, we are all neighbors, and we share the common goal of wanting Hillsboro to succeed. I believe in listening carefully to all perspectives, engaging in open and honest dialogue, and finding common ground where possible. Disagreements are inevitable, but they don’t have to divide us. By focusing on the bigger picture and the needs of our community, I’m confident we can work through differences respectfully and collaboratively, always keeping the best interests of Hillsboro at heart.

Immediate Priorities

Hillsboro’s growth demands advanced medical infrastructure. A top priority for me will be initiating discussions about building a new hospital to cater to the needs of Hillsboro and the larger Portland Metro community.

Inclusivity and Diversity

Our city is a tapestry of diverse cultures and backgrounds. As a lifelong learner, I pledge to ensure our city’s policies and practices truly reflect the people who live in it. The ethos of inclusivity will be central to every decision made.

Role Models in Public Service

My great grandmother stands tall as my inspiration. She defied the norms of her time, serving as a county recorder for Washington County, and leaving a mark that is still revered today. In my role, I hope to make a lasting impact that continues to honor my family legacy and serve our community.

Get in Touch

Your questions, concerns, and ideas are always welcome. I’m here to listen and engage. You can reach out via email, call, or text. For those who want regular updates, I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter. Your support, both in spirit and in kind, is invaluable to our shared vision for Hillsboro.

Join me in our shared journey to make Hillsboro a city that truly resonates with the aspirations of its people. Your partnership is the key to our collective success.

We Need Mead!
