A Clear Vision

“We support because Pooneh Gray is a moderate who listens to us and has a clear vision of how our City can do better on key issues such as public safety and homelessness. She will challenge the Council and,unlike her opponent,will not be a “guaranteed vote.” We need more candidates like her: A person willing to challenege the conventional and in doing so make our City stronger”

Great Listener, Creative and Tenacious

“Pooneh Gray is a practical and wise, well prepared candidate for the Vancouver City Council. She has experience in psychology and in criminal investigation; so she understands both the struggles of the homeless and the need for an effective, securely funded police force to make our city safe and clean.

Pooneh is a great listener, creative and tenacious problem solver, and an articulate, committed contributor to Vancouver. She would be an honorable and effective council member. Please give her your vote and your support.”

—Randi Holland
Longtime Vancouver School Board member (17+ years)

Finding Real Solutions

“Pooneh Gray is a breath of fresh spring air in our local politics! Plus, she has the life experience in mental health, homelessness and business to know what she’s talking about. Unfortunately, not all of our elected officials do!!

Electing Pooneh means taking a fresh look at old systems and policies and making them work better for everyone in the city: finding real solutions for homelessness, tightening the budget without diminishing services, and prioritizing law enforcement and public safety.

I support Pooneh because of her policies AND her personality. Her energy seems endless, her demeanor is genuine and her honesty permeates every word.”

—Betty Sue Morris
Former Democratic state legislator and Clark County Commissioner

Dedicated to Helping Others

“I met Pooneh 10 years ago. When she says she will listen, she will. Her dedication to help others is endless.  She was investigating her mother’s murder and took the time to talk with me about my son Donny, who was murdered. His case is still unsolved. If you want an elected official who walks the talk and will help you, it’s Pooneh Gray.“

—Pat Kuiper
Member of Parents of Murdered Children
