Biographical facts and stated priorities below are paraphrased from the Councilor’s official Portland.gov profile. They are identified separately from Portland Civic Lab’s analysis of the public record.
Pirtle-Guiney is a District 2 Councilor, former Council President, and current chair of the City Life Committee. Her City biography describes work in labor organizing and state policy.
City-published biographyHer official profile emphasizes working families, affordability, effective government, civil rights, workforce opportunity, and parks access.
Self-described priorities are not treated as proof of action or results.Each topic combines directly attributed words with votes and official actions from this term. A topic is not assigned a left–right label, and a vote never supplies a motive by itself.
10 checked-in topic syntheses are temporarily hidden because the underlying evidence changed. They will return after the corrected votes, statements, quotations, and comparisons pass validation.
This list prioritizes this Councilor’s no votes and divided final actions. It does not treat unanimous routine business as equally informative.
These are observable features of the record, not a grade for effectiveness. Committee influence, sponsorship, motions, and participation are shown with their scope intact.

Review voting recordCounts describe recorded activity. They are not an ideology score, effectiveness grade, or endorsement.
Current and former committee tenures remain separate so reorganizations do not blur the record.
Committee of the Whole includes all 12 councilors; this is a universal Council assignment, not a distinctive portfolio.
Subject areas use the City’s published service-area or bureau labels. They describe the record; they do not infer a political position.
A no vote is presented with the item, date, and available source. The record does not assume the councilor’s reason.
“Introduced” uses the sponsor field on official Council documents and includes co-sponsored work since January 2025. It does not establish sole authorship. Sponsorship and motions are separate activities; the same matter can appear in both.

“Thank you, Council President. And Councilor Clark, I want to assure you that this is really focused on natural psychedelics. So I just want to address 2 things that my colleagues brought up. Councilor Avalos, thank you for mentioning the risk of disparate impact on what is enforced and what is not. I heard our representative from the police bureau say that he would be happy to work with my office to make sure we were getting data back to council. And if Councilor Novick, should he retain the gavel that he currently has next year, would so oblige, I'd be happy to work to put together some sort of presentation back to that committee to make sure that we're getting that data. Thank you. I think that that would pair well with some information about sales and if there's been any increase in sales and in enforcement on that end. To the point that Councilor Ryan brought up, I think those 2 t…”
“Items 7 and 9 are emergencies. I don't want to bump ahead of those, but we have almost 20 people here signed up to give public testimony on item 11, which is the end of the agenda. So my attempt in reordering in this way is to hear the next item on the agenda, hear the 2 emergency items, and then move immediately to item 11. Second. So that those members of the public have an opportunity to give their testimony before we run out of time today. So again, my proposal would be that the rest of the agenda goes 6, 7, 9, 11, 8, 10.”
“Thank you, Council President. We heard just a moment ago that we need to make sure we are covering the 5% annual adopted budget. We actually don't have to cover for any of this, but that it is very clear in the plain language that it is to cover capital expenses or operational expenses, and it does not talk about covering matching capital expenses. We then heard that this grant is primarily capital expenses. We know we have a cushion. So if a small amount of this grant ends up being operational expenses, we will be okay. So Councilor Kanal, I am going to be voting no on this either way, whether at the current amount or at $500, because it appears to me that even if we had a broader discussion about changing the policy around what annual adopted budget meant, in this case, we would not need to put aside matching funds for this grant.”
“Thank you, Council President. Since I didn't come in here with my mind made up on how I was going to vote for this, and the details actually matter a whole heck of a lot to me because following our charter and our code matters, and so does preserving the money in our contingency fund, I've heard loud and clear that we don't have to, but we can do this. It's very clear to me that we need to provide some sort of guidance on what happens when we have large infusions of cash into our police department after our annualized budget, because I don't want to end up in a situation where council is lowballing the police budget to avoid putting money into CBPA in the future. That is not something that I think this council is going to do, but I understand that that could be a risk and then bumping it up in the fall TAO. So I'm hoping this is something that we can take on either through a financial…”
“Thank you, Council President. It's a little bit difficult to be asked what specifically We could support when we don't have proposals before us. We've had our attorneys tell us that there are some limitations, significant limitations to what you can do on a franchise transfer. And I think we need to operate within those limitations. It's hard to avoid a Groundhog Day when there are folks who don't want to operate within those limitations. But I think that we should all always be willing to have conversations about what policy can look like to make sure that we can get a majority vote on things that are the business of the council. So I hope that everybody is willing to have that conversation over the next week.”
“And the space we have to grow other parts of our economy for decades to come. When land is scarce, we need to think not just about the capital a project brings, but how effectively that land use creates lasting employment opportunities. So we should ask a straightforward question: how many good permanent jobs do we get for the amount of land we commit to any type of project? A very large data center, yes, represents a substantial capital improvement, and it requires a relatively small workforce. Construction jobs and the indirect economic activity are, of course, important, but they can't be the end of the story. Our permanent employment located on a site matters. This is about job density. It's about economic opportunity for our future. Thank you. And it's about opportunity cost as well as the important environmental and transparency values that have been stated many times by folks i…”
“So the answer to the folks who have raised those concerns really is this is in code and council can declare an emergency if there is an emergency to make sure that we can still have the necessary fuel supply to keep our community operating. Yeah. Okay. And then we heard a little bit of conversation about the safety differences between having fewer tanks and having tanks with less fuel in them. I understand the concern about the operational side of the drawdown as opposed to the less storage capacity, but did any of the work that your teams did or any of the work in that you were looking at by experts across the country look at the risk, the safety risk between having fewer tanks operational or a lower volume within tanks of fuel?”
“I hate to wade into this, but it seems to me, and I don't have it up in front of me, that if that's specifically in the section about the mayor breaking a tie and it calls it out, that doesn't necessarily, without reading the context of the rest of the section, mean that it would not be considered a tie in another instance, or considered a no vote, I guess I would say, in another instance? Have you read the totality of the section to understand how that fits in context? Because I don't think we can take that one unrelated piece.”
“Thank you, Council President. We've heard twice now testimony with concerns about the 5% set aside for police accountability, and I think we heard on the first one that that would have to be appropriated in the future with no real plan. So I am wondering if there is a plan for that fund and if the 5% could be taken out of the matching funds that are already allocated. Yes. Or if for whatever reason these don't have to have the 5%, in which case we should be transparent about that with the public. Because what I don't want to do is end up in next year's budget needing to meet that piece of the requirement that we hadn't planned for.”
“When you talk about clarity, it sounds like the decision was made based on a lack of clarity about what the natural reduction based on other policies would be, and therefore what we could reduce without increasing prices? Correct. Okay. And then you said that there was an exemption for regulated public utilities because there is one, it's one tank, it has a critical use for heating and safety in the winter. Are there other utilities or other uses that, um, that could qualify under that exemption? What I'm wondering is, is there a risk that a public utility could purchase a different property, a different tank, and that exemption could actually be expanded over time?”
“In a process like this, this was a transfer agreement process. Does this now go back to staff for additional information and consideration, or does this I am unclear.”
“Thank you, Chair. Um, you all spoke a little bit to the, the why of rolling in the occasional secondhand dealers with the, the other folks and the fact that the cost of doing the work is the same. Can you speak to the feedback you received on that though? Because I'm guessing that there was some pushback since the revenue they received from operations for doing that work is presumably much lower. What did we hear from that community and were we able to figure out something in what we have before us that works for both the occasional and the more full-time dealers? Or did we end up with something where, I think we did. It's likely going to be a controversial solution.”
Since January 2025. Includes recorded Council and committee motions on amendments, procedure, and substantive items where this Councilor is named as mover, regardless of outcome. Seconding or sponsoring an item alone does not count. Coverage depends on published records and successful extraction; this is not a complete inventory of every motion made. Earlier City Commissioner service is excluded.
Counting correction, September 10, 2026: totals and lists now exclude inactive duplicate records and count an explicitly combined motion repeated under multiple agenda items once. Separate motions with identical wording remain separate. Original source records are preserved.
