Welcome to our Campaign Website!
"I am very appreciative of the great support I have received from the community since I announced my candidacy for Mayor back in March. A virtual dead-heat with incumbent Kitty Piercy in the Primary Election surprised all the political experts and validated the hard work and sacrifices that literally thousands of people provided during the campaign.
"And now we're working hard on the General Election, and a one-on-one battle over the future of Eugene.
"Our web site is going through some changes right now, but we've left up plenty of information from the Primary about my background and the issues I feel are important to the community. There are also some ads and brochures that you can review.
"Thanks for your interest in Eugene's future and for taking the time to consider my qualifications and the vision I have for our city. I will work hard during this campaign to provide you with information and ideas that will help you make an informed choice as a voter.
"I've adapted this quote from Upton Sinclair, which expresses my feelings about people who follow their conscience, and commit themselves to work for the public good:
'Public service is the spirit that prompts someone
to plant a tree that he or she may never sit under.'
"I invite you to join us in planting some trees that will provide a healthy future for the people of Eugene."
