About Kelly

Born and Raised in Washington State

If you want the job done right, give it to Kelly Janes. With experience managing teams in corporate, educations, creative, and small business environments, KJ is a whip-smart, creative leader driven to create innovative solutions for diverse communities. She ready to be our next city Council Member.

Her father served in the Air Force, so Kelly grew up with a strong sense of service and hard work. However, she didn't feel the sense of home she was looking for until setting in Portland with her son, who now attends District 3 public schools. as Kelly fell in love with the quality of life and open space that sh found in Portland, she became an active and effective volunteer leader here. 

When her neighborhood association's organized dinners to provide food for the public were repeatedly canceled due to low attendance, Kelly took control and solved the problem, first by cooking the meals herself and then by coming up with innovative ways to recruit and retain volunteers. Her work earned her the trust of her community. Kelly was then elected and is currently serves as the Foster Powell Neighborhood Association's board president, making a big impact in the district.
