” I have worked with Paul on numerous noise issues in his capacity as City Noise Control Officer. As a concert promoter and venue owner, it is at times challenging staying within the city noise ordinances. Paul acted in an evenhanded manner on noise complaints with our venue. I appreciate his straight up approach, and availability to help us problem solve. ”

” I endorse Paul Van Orden for Multnomath County Commissioner. He is a key influence in our community and has been giving his time to others before this election. Paul brings a smile on my face when I see him. He has been a great resource for questions concerning sound, sustainable solutions, and chickens! He is the only choice for County Commissioner. ”

” I endorse Paul Van Orden for Multnomah County commissioner. He is supportive of the outdoor concerts held in and around Portland and has been proactive in problem solving with neighbors. A behind the scenes facilitator in his capacity with the city, he will also be an advocate for livability and the arts in a more public role as commissioner. He is a straight forward communicator who speaks his mind and listens to all points of view. ”

” If you get around on two wheels or two feet, Paul van Orden deserves your vote. ”

” Paul has been Portland’s Noise Control Officer for 14 years and the mark he has made on Portland is cause for celebration. He’s exactly the kind of guy that we need as county commissioner. Paul is a tireless public servant with deep ties in the very N/NE Portland district this commissioner seat (seat 2) serves, and he’s not a career politician.Paul has the experience and community roots to get elected and do some good for Multnomah County. Paul Van Orden supports Multnomah County’s arts and cultural organizations and he will be a great ally in the struggle to sustain local arts education programs. I hope you will join me in supporting him. ”

” As a small business owner who understands the hard work it takes to keep a business thriving and expanding and the pressures that are laid on our shoulders by our leaders I would really like a down to earth guy like Paul to step up and into a position that can effect the type of change that encourages thriving businesses and communities. Thank you Paul for taking on the challenge ! ”

” I have worked with Paul and his City of Portland Dept. (noise variance/enforcement) numerous times over the past years. Our crane company impacts the downtown area at various construction sites. Paul and his team take the time to understand our needs and includes neighboring issues before issuing permits. This communication and critical balance of the needs of the construction industry, along with neighboring community, is critical for the success and growth of Portland. Paul wants to take the time to understand all sides of the projects and translates that information into a workable solution, in order for progress to take place. My one-on-one time at Paul’s department indicates to me that having Paul as a Multnomah County Commissioner will greatly benefit Multnomah County. ”
