Steven Novick (born February 8, 1963) is an American politician, attorney, and activist from the U.S. state of Oregon. In 2008, he was a candidate for U.S. Senate for the seat then held by Republican Gordon Smith, but narrowly lost the primary to Jeff Merkley.[1] He served as a Portland City Commissioner from 2013 to 2017.[2][3] On the city council, he was in charge of the city's transportation department, among other responsibilities.[4]
Novick ran for re-election to the city council in 2016, but lost to Chloe Eudaly.[5] In 2018, he became an attorney for the Oregon Department of Justice.[6] He successfully ran for a seat on Portland City Council in 2024 in District 3 during the city's transition from a commission form of government to a mayor-council government.[7]
