John Anton

John’s experience in the city as a Planning Board member and active citizen, his motivation in providing transparent, long-term decision making, and stellar ideas regarding transportation, housing, and the working waterfront ensure that he will be a League ally for his full tenure on the Council. John's day job gives him expertise in housing issues. He will highlight the city's need for higher-density zoning on the peninsula, as well as reduce city-mandated parking requirements that stop development of affordable housing – a must for Portland’s young people. His candidacy is a breath of fresh air as he will be accountable, experienced, transparent, and fiscally responsible. The League is proud to welcome this effective leader back into the fold.
