Elected Representatives
Brooklyn is represented by elected officials at numerous levels: city, county, state, and more. Some of those electeds are “at-large” representatives, such as Portland City Council, who represent the entire jurisdiction. Others are district-based, such as the Oregon State Legislature.
These officials are Brooklyn’s district-based representatives:
| Name | Office | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Commissioner Sharon Meieran | Multnomah County Commission – District 1 | Web |
| Director Laura Masterson | East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District (EMSWCD) – Zone 2 | Web |
| Duncan Hwang | Metro Council – District 6 | Web |
| Senator Kathleen Taylor | Oregon Senate – District 21 | Web |
| Representative Mark Gamba | Oregon House – District 41 (south of SE Holgate Blvd, west of the railyard) | Web |
| Representative Rob Nosse | Oregon House – District 42 (all other areas in Brooklyn) | Web |
| Congressman Earl Blumenauer | U.S. Congress – District 3 | Web |
Portland City Council is “at large,” meaning the Commissioners are elected from the entire city and not specific districts.

How can I advertise in the Events Calendar?
There is a homeless camp again under the 17th Street underpass. Last time the camp became almost permanent and virtually cut pedestrians off from grocery stores like Peoples and New Seasons. Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this?
