Troutdale has a small town feel amongst a sea of concrete. It is a town rich in history and full of good people, everyday people like you and me, each either knowingly or unknowingly making a difference that adds up into Troutdale being a great place to live. I'm running for Troutdale City Council to do my part.
I've been told I'm an unknown. I understand this, since I am often a lone citizen at the Council meetings. I've seen the Council chambers fill up when a subject arises that is important to you. It will be my job to pay attention when you're not able to attend; to represent your best interest when Life is too busy. And I promise never to commit to a vote prior to you getting a chance to speak at the Council meetings.
It is important to me that you are treated fairly. That the Council does everything they can to help the people and businesses of Troutdale be successful. I've heard some of you talk about the road blocks you've faced when trying to make a positive difference. We have a good Council, but let's strive harder to smooth the path for good things to happen.

If you are looking to do more for Troutdale, I encourage you to sign up for one of the committees prior to the October 29th deadline, or join one of the many organizations. Silvia Maly can help with membership questions for the fledgling Troutdale Kiwanis Organization at 503-695-2538.
