PORTLAND — Six candidates vying for three seats on the City Council are tackling the issue of homelessness during a “You Don’t Need a Home to Vote” forum this morning at the Preble Street Resource Center.
Incumbent Kevin Donoghue faces Justin Benjamin Pollard in District 1 on Nov. 6; incumbent David Marshall faces Shane Boyington in District 2; and incumbent Nicholas Mavodones Jr. faces Wellington “Wells” Lyons for an at-large seat.
The forum is sponsored by the Homeless Voices for Justice, an advocacy group led by people who have struggled with homelessness. The candidates will share breakfast and field questions from people who are homeless.
About two dozen people were in attendance at the forum, which began at 9:30 a.m.
