“I'm running for City Council because I care about protecting Lake Oswego 's quality of life. I want to work with each citizen, to develop collaborative, financially sound solutions to the challenges our city faces. These challenges include building the Lake Interceptor project on time and on budget, continuing the work of the downtown redevelopment plan, successfully implementing neighborhood plans, and successfully navigating the impact of changes in the Stafford Triangle.” – Jeff Gudman
