Its Election Day!

Today, across the state Oregonians are casting ballots for positions on local school boards, water district boards and even fire district boards.

In the City of Milwaukie a mayor will be elected. As Milwaukie faces the challenges of growth and development, OLCV looked for the candidate who could best balance these challenges with the need for a strong local economy, clean air, clean water, transportation choices, parks, and a healthy and safe city. We were thrilled to have endorsed Jeremy Ferguson for the job and now, on Election Day, we are even more certain we made the right choice.

Over the last several weeks Jeremy has run a top-notch grassroots campaign. As the candidate, he has knocked or called thousands of voters on his own; at the same time he has mobilized a committed group of volunteers to do the same. These volunteers have also helped design a website, deliver lawn signs, and much more. This was not a top-down campaign, but truly a grassroots effort. We were more than happy to see the candidate Jeremy Ferguson work and we are even more excited to see Jeremy continue his work as Milwaukie's Mayor.

Best of luck to all of OLCV's candidates and job well done.
