Rachel Philip is running against Evelyn Kocher for Beaverton City Council Position 1 in the November 3, 2026 runoff. Washington County’s official current-election page identifies both candidates in the nonpartisan contest.
On her campaign’s priorities page, Philip supports reducing financial pressures on residents while preserving city services. She describes affordability as a concern for households and city government alike.
Philip advocates safer travel for people who walk, roll, bicycle, use public transit or drive. She also supports preparing Beaverton for extreme weather and helping residents reduce emissions.
For civic engagement, Philip says she wants to connect residents with opportunities to serve the city and strengthen work already underway in neighborhood groups and committees. She describes her own neighborhood association participation as part of that perspective.
These priorities come from her own campaign website. No submitted Surround Sound Media questionnaire response was available for this profile.
