Candidates

Voters will face many tough decisions in city, county and state races throughout Marion County next year.

Fortunately, a strong team of local community leaders have joined forces on OLCV’s newly re-formed Marion County Steering Committee to make sure the public is informed when they cast their votes next May and November. Over the next few months, the steering committee will be identifying pro-environment candidates in several races in Marion County and talking to voters about those candidates.

After announcing that he was not running for re-election to the Lane County Commission, Bill Fleenor faced a tidal wave of support and requests from his West Lane County constituents to reconsider his decision. 

OLCV worked hard to get Fleenor elected to the West Lane County seat in 2006 and we know that the board has moved forward on a range of environmental priorities because of Bill Fleenor’s strong support. We would definitely be facing a challenge without Bill on the commission and without Bill in the race this spring.

Do your legislators?

In the only thorough assessment of how Oregon legislators vote on the environment, the scores tell the story: most legislators backed stronger environmental stewardship a majority of the time.
