| Info | David’s educational journey took him through the Portland Public School system, where he rode the #72 bus daily, before graduating from Madison High School (now McDaniel). David’s commitment to education continued as he pursued a degree in history and political science at Portland State University, an institution whose motto is “Let knowledge Serve the City.” In 2012, he pursued a Master’s degree in Public Administration with a specialty in Local Government, further equipping himself to serve the community.
David Linn’s roots in Portland run deep, having been born and raised in East Portland, literally in a little apartment off 82nd Avenue. Throughout his life, David has called several East Portland neighborhoods home, including Buckman, Montavilla, Hazelwood, Parkrose Heights, and Centennial. His early influences include his grandmother, Roberta “Beryl” Linn, a beloved figure who actively participated in community and social justice efforts.
David’s journey of community engagement began with advocating for a neighborhood volunteer library. Although that particular effort faced challenges, it ignited his passion for community service.
In 2005, he joined the Montavilla Neighborhood Association, where his involvement evolved over the years. From chairing committees to organizing events, David became dedicated to serving in the community. He closely followed the issue of housing in East Portland, advocating for more housing and shelters.
David’s leadership within the Montavilla Neighborhood Association grew, with roles ranging from Vice-Chair to Chair. He organized cultural festivals, candidate forums, and other community events, contributing significantly to the vibrancy of the neighborhood. His dedication extended to addressing pressing issues like housing and shelter.
Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, David obtained training in Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NET) from the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management. He joined the Centennial Neighborhood Emergency Team and actively participated in the Centennial Community Association (CCA). In 2022, he was elected President of the CCA, supporting neighborhood clean-ups and block parties.
In 2021, David ran for and was elected to the Centennial School Board. His tenure coincided with navigating the complexities of the post-COVID world. Through community generosity in passing a bond measure during the pandemic, the district was able to address deferred maintenance and fulfill longstanding promises. David’s commitment remains steadfast in supporting teachers, families, and the community to achieve positive change.
