Jimmy Radosta, Communications and Engagement Director (he/him/his)
Jimmy comes to Councilor Clark’s team after two years as Communications Director for Portland City Commissioner Carmen Rubio.
Jimmy previously spent 11+ years directing communications for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, where he helped preserve Oregon’s status as the most protective state for abortion access. In this role he saw firsthand the power of grassroots organizing to transform public policy, helping to pass landmark legislation that expanded reproductive health coverage regardless of citizenship status and gender identity; that made Oregon the nation’s easiest place to get birth control; and that ensured telehealth equity during the COVID pandemic.
On the local level, Jimmy was proud to work with coalition partners who successfully urged Portland City Council to invest municipal dollars in supporting people directly harmed by abortion bans in other states. He also supported efforts to expand access to sex education and/or birth control at schools in Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Oregon City, Tigard, Tualatin, West Linn, and Wilsonville.
A native Oregonian, Jimmy previously worked to amplify marginalized voices as a journalist for the LGBTQIA+ newsmagazine Just Out, the African-American newspaper The Skanner, and Salem’s Statesman Journal.
In his free time, Jimmy enjoys bicycling, pop culture and the local storytelling community. He lives in Northeast Portland with his partner, Andrew.
