ENDORSED BY:

Tigard Police Officers’ Association

The Tigard Police Officers’ Association (TPOA) is pleased to endorse Councilman John Goodhouse as the next Mayor of Tigard. Our executive board met with all three mayoral candidates and had robust conversations with them. Although we believe all three candidates are extremely qualified and are more than capable of being successful as the Mayor, we felt Councilman Goodhouse stood out as to what our association believed the City of Tigard needs in the next Mayor.

Councilman Goodhouse has vast experience in City of Tigard leadership and knows what is happening within the city. As a longtime resident and business owner, we believe Councilman Goodhouse is working to make the City of Tigard a safe, growing and thriving community. As an association we have worked in cooperation with Councilman Goodhouse on several occasions. During those times he has always been easy to work with, supportive and straightforward.

Based on his knowledge of the City of Tigard, his proven track record, as well as TPOAs history of cooperation with Councilman Goodhouse, our association feels he is the right person to lead the City of Tigard as Mayor. As a board we want to thank all the candidates for meeting with us and having the conversations. We look forward to future collaboration and working with all of the City of Tigard leadership.

“I have known John Goodhouse for over 5 years. I first met him and his wife, Rebecca, at a Tigard High School auction. John is an avid supporter of our schools both students and faculty. Additionally, he is well connected in our community and has his finger on the pulse of what is happening from downtown to our borders with King City, Beaverton, Tualatin, Durham and Lake Oswego. John's leadership has transformed his downtown business into a gathering space where locals and more come to enjoy a meal, listen to music and just hang out with friends. He believes in community connection and it is evident not only in his business, but in his co-presenting this past summer's 1st Tigard Music Fest. John is also committed to Tigard growing in a responsible way and is open to listening to the voices of his community. He and his family live here. They are dedicated and passionate about ensuring we have a great place to live, thrive and grow.”

“I experienced first-hand the care and love John has for Tigard when he and I presented the city’s first music fest during July 2022. What began as casual conversation grew into a highly successful three-day event that took negotiating with downtown business owners, tenants vendors and the city. John’s can-do attitude, gift for listening to concerns and ability to communicate the bigger picture were evident throughout the planning and execution stages and were among the reasons Tigard’s First Annual Music Fest was well received by thousands who attended."
