Corvallis  Chamber Endorsed Candidates

City Council - Ward 1

City Council - Ward 2

• My priorities include creating more affordable housing, strengthening our economy, supporting a vibrant downtown, increasing community engagement, improving transparency, and helping create a safe/thriving Corvallis.
• I also believe Corvallis should support local businesses, encourage entrepreneurship, invest in infrastructure, and plan for sustainable growth that benefits residents, workers, and future generations.
• I am committed to listening, learning, showing up and working collaboratively with all of Corvallis. Leadership is about bringing people together, finding practical solutions, and keeping residents at the center of every decision.

City Council - Ward 3

City Council - Ward 4

• Contribute thoughtfully to the discussions and decisions relating to the city's budget shortfall
• Foster collaboration with the county and state to help with homelessness in our city
• Encourage downtown vitality and economic growth throughout Corvallis
• Attempt to maximize the mutual benefits to be derived from the partnership between the city and OSU

City Council - Ward 6

• Solve our budget gap permanently: The city has a structural budget gap: expenses grow faster than revenue, so we have to hike fees or raise taxes every couple of years just to tread water. I would work to fix our revenue sources properly so that “one-time” patches aren’t chronically necessary.
• Establish a unified downtown vision: Proposals for City Hall, a police station, Madison Avenue, parking, and a TIF district belong in one conversation. The city needs to decide what we want downtown to be, bring those pieces together in one concrete plan, and then implement it.
• Unleash the local economy: Corvallis should be a place where high-tech startups can grow into high-paying employers without leaving and where it’s easy for people to spend their money to make our community better. The more investment our town attracts, the more affordable it will be.

City Council - Ward 7

• Retired after thirty-eight years with the US Forest Service; Forest Supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest and National Director of Forest Service Job Corps. 
• Experienced in leadership and mission delivery under budget cuts and resource constraints.
• Sixteen-year Corvallis resident and homeowner looking to give back to the community.
• Committed to service to all Corvallis residents; skilled in diplomacy and collaboration.
• Priorities include affordability and a pathway to a sustainable fiscal future for the City based on cost controls, economic development, and new taxes only if enacted by the people.
