Mayor Keith Wilson will deliver his first annual State of the Speech address on Friday, May 2, as crises continue to grow in Portland and the surrounding region.

Wilson is scheduled to speak at an event hosted by the City Club of Portland at Franklin High School at 4:15 p.m.

An annual tradition for Portland mayors, Wilson will speak at a time of growing threats for the city. Among other things, the budget that takes effect on July 1 faces a $93 million general fund shortfall, the Trump administration is threatening traditional funding sources that have not yet been identified, President Trump is personally promising to cut additional federal funds from sanctuary cities such as Portland that protect migrants, and other governments in the region — including Multnomah County, TriMet, Portland Public Schools and Metro — also face budget shortfall that could reduce services in Portland.

Wilson has already said Portland will stand up to the Trump administration’s efforts to penalize sanctuary cities.

“Portland stands unwavering in its commitment to sanctuary policies, rooted in the belief that every resident, including immigrants, deserves dignity, respect and protection. The city of Portland fully complies with all applicable federal and state laws and will not obstruct lawful federal enforcement operations. Importantly, our police officers will not be used as agents of ICE (Immigration, Customs and Enforcement),” Wilson said.

The crises are hitting as Portland is transitioning to a new form of government approved by the voter in November 2020. The City Council has increased from five citywide elected members to 12 councilors elected from four new geographic zones. Bureaus no longer are overseen by council members but managed by a professional city administrator. The mayor can only vote to break a tie.

The State of the City is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on May 2 at Franklin High School,  5405 S.E. Woodward St., and is free and open to the public, although attendees will need to register online ahead of the event.
