I strongly support Robert O’Brien as Portland city councilor for District 2.
As a member of the 2022 Charter Commission, he opposed giving the School Board carte blanche to adopt its budget without review by the City Council. He’s an expert on housing policy, and as long-time member and chair of the Historic Preservation Board, will balance the need to increase our housing supply with the preservation of our neighborhoods.
He’s focused on controlling tax increases while planning to adapt to sea level rise and climate change. He makes sense to me, and will be a great councilor for District 2.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
