“[Sollman] has developed a reputation as a more industry-friendly Democrat, at times voting with Republicans against a majority of Democrats.

- Addressing homelessness and housing: Helped open Beaverton’s first permanent shelter and advance the planning and construction of thousands of new housing units, including hundreds of regulated affordable homes.

Antonio C. Pirog
- Fiscal Surgery & Efficiency: Forensic verification as the technical standard for municipal oversight to decouple narrative from reality.

John Dugger
