Bailey Scores Major Endorsement — Winning artPAC’s Support
Monday, March 07, 2016
In Portland, arts is a big part of the fabric of the community, its big business and it matters in politics.
artPAC, the Oregon Arts & Culture Political Action Committee, announced its endorsement of Jules Bailey for Mayor.
"Arts and culture plays a vital role in the livability of our community. Jules Bailey understands how art drives our economy and improves our city for everyone. artPAC is proud to support Jules Bailey for Mayor." said Stanley Penkin, Co-founder and Treasurer of artPAC.
On his Plan for Portland, Bailey has committed to “make Portland a magnet for arts and culture by supporting arts organizations and artists, and helping communities, especially disadvantaged communities, express themselves through art and culture.”
The endorsement from artPAC is key for Bailey’s grassroots campaign because arts and culture supporters can bolster his fundraising. Bailey has limited contributions to $250 per individual or organization and has raised funds from over 500 people since entering the race in January.
The mission is to expand the voice of the arts in the political process by reaching out with a more global perspective to encourage public support from all communities within the entire region. artPAC supports candidates for public office who commit to increase public funding for the arts in the region.
