About

Vince Jones-Dixon, a Gresham City Councilor since 2020, has deep roots in Multnomah County, where he was raised in a large family and began contributing financially during high school. His career started in the death care industry as a removal technician, later becoming a funeral director, a role that connected him deeply with the community. His personal experiences, including the tragic loss of his brother to gun violence in 2013, have fueled his commitment to community service and advocacy. Vince's work in local government focuses on public safety, addressing root causes of community violence, and improving services for the vulnerable, including efforts related to housing and homelessness. His approach is collaborative, working across agencies and fostering open communication between government and citizens. Vince, who also serves on various community boards, has been recognized nationally for his service in the funeral industry. He is dedicated to the growth and prosperity of East Multnomah County, believing in the power of representation and the importance of tackling challenges like community violence and mental health issues collaboratively.

Priorities

Public Safety and Addressing Gun Violence

Public safety suffers due to the desperate need to lower emergency response times. This is especially true in East County, as ambulance availability has become a critical issue that strains other first responders and fails to provide essential emergency services during life-threatening scenarios. As a Gresham City Councilor I have spearheaded finding solutions and will do that same at the county commission.

Housing Affordability and Homelessness

We face an immediate need for an accurate count of shelter beds so we can make this information readily available to first responders and service providers across the continuum of care. Other communities around the country have done this and it makes a huge difference. Let’s learn from what is working in other places.

Mental Health and Addiction Services

Finally, facilities for mental health and addiction services need to be expanded in the locations they are most needed. Those in crisis need safe spaces to receive support. The County needs to adequately connect people with these services, and support the hard-working staff dedicated to providing care.
