Welcome!

Portland City Commissioner Dan Saltzman

Thank you for visiting my website where you can learn more about the projects and issues I address as a Portland City Commissioner. I remain committed to investing in our children and fostering principles of sustainability to enhance our quality of life. It is also a priority for me to decrease the costs of government while increasing economic opportunities for all Portlanders.

Here are some of my latest projects and priority issues. Please explore my site to learn more:

Establishing the Children's Investment Fund, the voter approved fund supporting programs that help more than 15,000 Portland children arrive at school ready to learn, provides safe and constructive after-school alternatives for kids, and prevents child abuse, neglect and family violence.
Leading the City's efforts to create a One-Stop Domestic Violence Service Center, which would combine domestic violence advocates, intervention specialists, prosecution and law enforcement personnel into one physical location to provide a one-stop center for victims and their children in need of services to stop the cycle of violence in their families. To read the feasibility study report click here.
Focusing on our city's teens: The investment in our youth will continue to pay great dividends. This program gives teens a greater self confidence and esteem. It continues to provide opportunities for engagement in their communities and mentoring at a time in their lives when they need it the most. I am hopeful that City Council will provide stable funding for this program in the Parks and Recreation budget. Get involved!
